Serious question: Do parents know when their children are ugly?

Question

I asked my mom that question once when I was little and she replied with "I wouldn't know, all of my children are beautiful."

Hahaha.

But seriously- who can admit to not having a cute kid....?

Answer 1

I believe that some do.

The "Mommy Goggles" may make children seem beautiful to their doting parents, but I think that many parents still have enough objectivity to know whether or not their kids conform to conventional standards of beauty.

Answer 2

i hope no one all children are beautiful its when they grow up that they become ugly.........they way you are on the inside is how you appear on the out side

Answer 3

NO child or person is truely ugly, it is all in who is looking.

Answer 4

Grow  up. Who are  you to determine if their child is "ugly"?

Answer 5

Who knows, my children are beautiful!!!! LOL....But seriously, I'm thinking that every child is beautiful to it's parents in some sort of fashion.  But I've seen some pretty ugly babies out there, in fact all of my SIL's kids are imho ugly, still waiting to see if they grow out of it.   But then again "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Answer 6

You know I am not sure. Maybe, but they don't want to admit it.

Answer 7

No, it's impossible to see your child as ugly.  We all have "baby goggles", thank goodness.  I do think some babies are ugly, but that is cute in its own way.  Plus take a look at the baby pictures of some super models or movie stars.  Ugly babies often grow into gorgeous adults.  Super cute babies often grow into adults who look kind of like old babies.

Although I think when our kids hit maybe 12 or 13 the goggles start to slip a little!!!

Answer 8

most parents know there kid is ugly as fu*k but wont admit it

but other people shure as h**l will !

cant tell you how many times my sisters baby has bin mistaken for a prop from a Sifi movie in the past 2 days

Answer 9

i dont know because my daughter is so beautiful to me

Answer 10

I don't believe any parent believes their child is ugly.  I believe God puts something in our hearts that makes us fall in love with our children from the moment we seen them.

Answer 11

no I think all parents think their children are beautiful.How could you grow something inside you for all that time and then say it's ugly(I have 3 beautiful children and their is no way they could ever be ugly)

Answer 12

I've never seen an ugly child. I find anything unusual or that stands out about them endearing. But to answer your question, No a parent wouldn't think their child was ugly.

Answer 13

haha i was going to ask the same thing.  I think my baby is the most beutiful baby in the world and i wander if all mums think that or do some think that their babies arnt blessed in the look department?

Answer 14

I don't think you can tell if your own kid is ugly.  It's true that you can't help but think they're beautiful.

Answer 15

I think it depends on how ugly the kid is lol.

I agree, the Olsen twins were very ugly babies, but adorable as small kids, and now they're ugly again lol.

Answer 16

I think they know, but theyd never ever admit it.
