    But as gross and cliched as it sounds, the love you get back from a child is like nothing else on this planet. Poopy nappies and tantrums get forgotten at the end of the day.

    And I'll agree with you about new borns but toddlers are cute, I think.

    All kidding aside, it's a biological necessity for parents to see their own children as "cute" or adorable. This is so that parents take care of their children. If the sexual urge was the only instinct we had as far as procreation were concerned, you'd see people abandoning their children as soon as they were born. Through evolution, our infantile characteristics have evolved to be cute to our parents so that they feed us and keep us clean, warm, etc. It's kind of like the baby crying thing -- a mother's instinct is to hold a crying baby. A stranger's instinct is usually to get as far away as possible.

    you have been forewarned.
    i'll drink to that. I never understand WHY people get WAY exxxcited when they see a newborn. They are gross and wrinkly and just a mess. NO BABY is "cute" and they smell gross. Pixxx will disagree.

    Whenever people say "ohhh here look at my baby isnt he/she adorable?!" i always decline to look cuz.....i cant!

    And i know what those of u who know me are thinking-what about Spydee. Oddly enough, he was the ONLY baby i have EVER held right after they wrapped him in a blanket and i thought he was beautiful. :)

    I agree...

    In general, I think newborn babies are sorta ugly... but when you see your own, it's the most adorable thing in the world.

    NEWBORNS are pretty gnarly...but once they can hold up their own head, and a personality form - they are cute.


    but the initial month or two? oh, goddammit that is pretty bad.


    I have pictures of myself as a baby - and I am covered in what looks like a soft brown pelt. also I had some kind of red "bloom" on my face at birth. (it disappeared by the 5th month) and my lips look like someone caught them in a vacuum hose.

    it is quite possibly the ugliest baby picture I have ever seen. I would post it here -but it is to early.

    :(

    my baby was c-sectioned out and was 9+ pounds, so he looked like a 3 month old...no wrinkles, none of that "ugly" stuff. i guess that is 1 perk of the c-section. he was beautiful!! and still is....

    is this coming from the poster who got all pissed off during a discussion about teeth that we are all so shallow and about superficial looks? :p


    newborn babies are indeed scary-looking. i also find most babies look more like other babies than grown adults or older siblings. however, there are some truly beautiful babies, and some not so much....just like older children and adults. lucky babies though, b/c even if a butt-ugly baby, have the possibility of growing up into a gorgeous adult whereas there are some damn ugly adults walking around this earth and overall, fuck-all they can do about it. :D
