I can't even imagine saying something like that! People can be very rude, saying things they don't mean or not thinking about the consequences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-390252 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 01:43:11 +0000 banana 390252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my family members have commented that my daughter isn't as cute as my son. :( they say she looks like a boy and that her features aren't as cute. ugh... korean family members! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-389346 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:36:59 +0000 chopsuey 389346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We heard a lot of comparisons growing up and still do!<br /> That's what happens when you have 3 girls.<br /> Curious to see what people have to say about our kids once baby boy arrives. I'm glad Lo won't have a sister to be compared to. Dh and I don't do it on purpose, but we find ourselves comparing his 2 nieces :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-389318 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:28:33 +0000 sarac 389318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh god, I worry about this. My child won the genetic lottery - her father and I are normal average people and she's just gorgeous. I worry that if I have another girl, especially, that she'll look different and be compared. Now that my girl is a little older and does more fun toddler things, people comment on those more, which I really appreciate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-389168 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:26:39 +0000 keiki_mama 389168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one at the moment but something like this happened at my wedding!</p> <p>My aunt was chatting with my MIL and BIL and said,"Your brother (my DH) is better looking than you!"--seriously, WTF?!</p> <p>People suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-389161 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:23:25 +0000 immabeetoo 389161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No kids yet.. but that is terribly rude! And both your kids are adorable. I can't even imagine saying something like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-389157 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:22:39 +0000 mrs. wagon 389157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How odd. I think Charlie is SO handsome and Olive is SO beautiful. Both cute, but in different ways (they're boy and girl!) and I can't really compare them.</p> <p>We heard a lot of "WJ is the cutest baby I've ever seen!" so now we hear a lot of "LMW is even cuter than WJ!". Haha. Personally, WJ ended up being exactly what I envisioned a cute baby to be, so I was afraid of myself comparing LMW to him and not thinking she's cute enough. In the beginning she was definitely not as cute as he was, when she was still all skinny and wrinkly. Now I can't believe she is as cute (or cuter!) than WJ. But again, even at this early an age, it's hard to compare boy and girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-389147 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:19:25 +0000 ladyfingers 389147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People suck.

Are these comments from passing strangers or frenemies? Hearing that seriously pisses me off since 1) who the hell are they for comparing 2 innocent babies 2) why does it matter anyway 3) Olive and Charlie are the cutest babies, ever!</p> <p>FYI: I've noticed a lot of the older Asian generation think it's acceptable to talk about appearance. For some reason, they think it's fine to nitpick about certain features and it drives me insane. I almost deleted my mom from Skype because of this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388540 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:40:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 388540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388532 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:35:32 +0000 winniebee 388532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so weird!

Also... they are both beyond adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388504 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:22:54 +0000 autumnlove 388504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have 2 kids yet but friends have asked me to compare my LO to a friend's LO. Um, both babies are beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388503 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:22:49 +0000 meredithNYC 388503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should also add that generally, people thought my oldest brother was/is more attractive than me and my other brother, but that didn't bother me so much - maybe because of gender? Whereas people always complimented my cousin (who is one year older than me and as close to a sister as I'll ever have) on her beauty and when it came to me they just wouldn't say anything!</p> <p>It has gotten better now as I'm older and have lost a lot of weight and grown into my looks, but it still stings to think about that. I think that with girls especially, people have to be careful with this stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388495 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:20:06 +0000 meredithNYC 388495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who says something like that? I would be really annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388315 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 07:05:43 +0000 Amelieisme 388315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would make me so angry. It's fine for people to think it, but so rude to comment to you about it. Hopefully thy aren't doing it in front of your kids...this sort of thing fuels sibling rivalry and resentment. I only have one so I haven't had this experience but it would make me mad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388314 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 07:05:29 +0000 PrincessBaby 388314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, what kind of a freakshow "compares" how good-looking little children are? That's redonk!</p> <p>Besides, Charlie and Olive are both 1000% precious...So I really don't understand. People amaze me every. single. day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388312 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 07:04:47 +0000 mrstilly 388312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not!!! I only have one so far, and while I do think he is adorable, I don't comment on his looks too often and am going to do everything I possibly can to avoid family comparing him to his future sibling(s) too. My SIL is due in Jan and I hope that there aren't a lot o comparisons of their baby to DS. I'm sure size will come up since DS was well over 10 lbs at birth and still is in the 99% for height and weight, but hopefully the comparing doesn't last long and isn't too often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388303 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:48:24 +0000 Honeybee 388303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think people always comment on girl's looks and boy's size. At least with my kids, DD gets a lot of compliments on how pretty she isand DS always gets a lot of comments about being a "bowling ball" or a "tank." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388300 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:40:53 +0000 Andrea 388300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sure my mom will say something once DD #2 is born. I am really not looking forward to hearing all the comparison. Gonna have to shut it down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388247 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:42:44 +0000 HLK208 388247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's crazy that anyone would ever say that to you! They're both so cute in their own ways!</p> <p>No one has said that, but I kind of feel like DS was a cuter baby than DD--I would never tell anyone that though, except you guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388246 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:37:29 +0000 SAHM0811 388246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has said that to me really, but my mom doesn't have a filter when it comes to this stuff. She's careful with her words, but it just comes out somehow anyway. Recently she said one DD is "prettier than before" and my other DD is "very pretty, but not so much in pictures". Umm, ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388238 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:27:47 +0000 mrbee 388238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not fishing for compliments! I don't really care how the kids look as long as they are good people... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388224 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:09:08 +0000 BoogieBea 388224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! Yes! My parents. Makes me ill but that's just them having no filter as usual. I have a son and a daughter and they're just partial to boys to begin with. I've been working really hard to have them get to know her better. It's been working! :)</p> <p>Both your kids are beyond adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-tell-you-that-one-of-your-kids-is-better-looking-than-the-other#post-388220 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:04:01 +0000 DigAPony 388220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a really weird thing to say!

I think both of our kids are non-ugly! That's right, I set the bar pretty low. :)</p> <p>Do people tell you that one of your kids is better looking than the other? </p>
