This is not funny at all. When my son was born, he was the ugliest kid from the whole hospital. At that time, back in Europe, the father could not come in to see the child. When finally I was released home, my husband was waiting inpatiently to see our newborn. On the phone I told my husband "before I show you the child, I have to confess: he is utmost ugly; however, please promisse we will love him as he is, because he is ours". Needless to say that in about 3 month he started growing hair, and the red pealing skin drying. He became a great looking kid, and today he is very handsome and good lucking youn man.
I am telling this story because I do not want those seeing a non pretty faced baby getting dissapointed, as we were. As long he has all the functions, and otherwise it's normal, nothing wrong with him/her. Maybe will never become a beauty per se, but might develop an inner beauty which I believe it is much more valuable...
As long as you understand that others are NOT in awe of your baby and don't consider it something precious, miraculous or a gift from god... then it's all good. Not all of us (women) are into babies and children. But the vibes I get from all mothers is that they are fishing for compliments.
Great! As long as you understand that many, if not most people do like children and it's fairly common social form to make positive comments about them to new parents. Most people who aren't into babies or children understand that nonetheless.
Hey man, I have to agree on this one. When babies are born they are generally UGLY. All wrinkled can’t really see their face and people go
“Oooooh what an adorable little angel” but really, they are ugly. Maybe it is the feeling of having such a small little child in your arm that makes anybody feel some affection, sure, I can see that but as a baby being beautiful? Not sure. Maybe they improve a little more once they start to grow up a few months later and they start to smile and play peek-a-boo.
I won’t tell someone “what an adorable child” instead I’ll congratulate them pretty much.
"Adorable" is a good one, actually, because it means "able to be adored." A baby with adoring parents is adorable. It has no bearing on whether a kid is good-looking (cute, beautiful).
i just say "man, i am sure glad your having them babies" and ask if dad got me a "good" cigar-- oh yea-- there is no such thing as a cute baby have to give em a month to reach....um.... babyhood or something like that
A Facebook friend (and casual real-life acquaintance) of mine recently had a baby. Of course, her FB page is now littered with endless photos of her new little flesh-loaf and I am sorry to say, the child is NOT attractive.
Mind you, the kid isn't UGLY per se, but it looks like it just "isn't right" if you get my meaning.
Whenever the photos are posted there are tons of "oogie boogie" comments about how precious and beautiful the kid is. I feel compelled to say SOMETHING, but what? I can't very well put what I am thinking into words. Yet, I am the ONLY FB friend who has not made any comment about the kid since she brought it home more than three weeks ago.
Any ideas?

LOL...thats funny
One time when I was working at a loan company some young guy came in with his baby girl..and let me say she wasnt cute at all.
My manager kept saying oh how cute she is..and no she wasnt
sorry but not all babies are cute
So I said she has cute hair..which she did..I had to compliment the baby somehow
So when he left I told my manager..get real we both know that baby was not cute
She was shocked I said that and said Lita how can you say that/
I told her Im just saying what were both thinking..lol
and she finally admitted it was true.
So just to compliment something
like the outfit the baby is wearing..
I am scratching my head here wondering what is so damned important about being honest IRT a baby's looks.
