comparing your child....

[[M]umma[M]ia]

yes, many times. But as a parent we have the right to be biased.

i am actually sad admitting that!!!!!
but in all honesty...i am sure everyone does it.....i often hear DH commenting on other peoples bubbas....and i say to him...'you can't say that!!!' and he turns around and says to me...but didn't you just comment on that other baby??

i feel really horrible now admitting this!!!!

[~clover~]

I don't...I think all kids are cute.
Obviously mine are much cuter, but I really honestly think all kids are adorable in their own way!
DH on the other hand is a tad more biased, lol.

Yep, totally do it. I have always thought DS was the cutest kid ever, but the funny thing is, when I look back at photos of him when he was younger (and not at his current level of uber-cuteness!), I think "hm....maybe not as cute as I thought".

I was at a friend's house recently and she was like "I just beleive how handsome my son is". I really don't think her kid is cute, so I didn't know what to say! But it goes to show every mama thinks her kid is the best, as they should! I think its lovely how biased we are!

[Jakabella]

Im guilty too!! And I know when I see ppls new borns at hospital and I say "oh he/she is adorable.." sometimes I dont really mean it and DH will say when we leave - not as beautiful as Bella! Thats bad huh!
I think we are juts hard wired to think our kids are the best EVER!

And by the way Isabella IS THE CUTEST EVER!! hehehe

sometimes I dont really mean it and DH will say when we leave - not as beautiful as Bella! Thats bad huh!

Guilty! Me & my DH do the same thing as Jakabella does. We will see a cute child and remark how he or she is cute but then say to each other 'no way near as cute as Harry' lol

All my kids are gorgeously perfect

Well, I just think I have the most gorgeous children in the world!!

[MantaRay]

I have noticed when I look back at photos of the boys when they were younger that they aren't quite as perfect looking as I thought at the time (still gorgeous though ). So I am very much aware that beauty, even with our kids, is in the eye of the beholder and try not to be too biased!

FWIW, I do think all kids are gorgeous, but I also appreciate their uniqueness - their personality traits, quirks and funny things they do.

[amberj]

You know the other funny thing is, when someone says to me "oh, he's really cute", I just glow with bursting pride- EVEN THOUGH I say this to others when I only kind of half mean it (secretly thinking their kid is not half as cute as my kid)...so I KNOW in my head they could be just saying it to be nice, but my heart hears it like "oh, I knew I was right- I have the cutest kid ever!".

[Glamourcide]

Oh I am sooo bad for it. I dare anybody to tell me they produce better-looking offspring than DH and I lol
DH is heaps worse for it though, at least I can acknowledge freely when I *do* spot a cute kid that does not have some of my DNA - DH flat-out refuses to fathom that his baby girls have equals among them lol
