We get it ALL THE TIME, and my response is: "So, if my baby was all white or all black would they not be as cute?" Shuts them up every single time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-157005 Sun, 13 May 2012 04:01:51 +0000 erinpye 157005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is 1/4 Japanese and very dark and I'm Swedish/ Danish/ Norwegian/ German decent- fair with blonde hair and blue eyes. People did tell us all the time what a cute baby we would have, and now that she's here they tell us how cute she is, but no one ever made a mixed or bi-racial babies are so cute comment to us. His aunt did mention, upon seeing our DD for the first time, that "boy the Asian genes in our family are strong" but no other race comments. And so far, she is tan with dark brown hair and blue eyes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-156301 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:05:39 +0000 daniellemybelle 156301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started getting: "You will make the CUTEST BABIES EVER!!!!!!!!" pretty much the day we started dating. And anytime we mention TTC in the future, people say, "Oh, I loved mixed babies - they will be so cute!!!"</p> <p>What's funny is that while I'm Hispanic and DH is African-American, I am convinced they are just going to look like normal black kids. DH isn't, though. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-156003 Fri, 11 May 2012 14:03:36 +0000 BananaPancakes 156003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also think that most bi-racial babies are incredibly beautiful. One of the most amazing combinations I've seen we're the children of the couple that purchased my husbands old house. They were Cuban and Pilipino. Gorgeous gorgeous daughters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155938 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:29:15 +0000 regberadaisy 155938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we do. And no I'm not annoyed about it. She is pretty darn cute! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155928 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:20:32 +0000 HabesBabe 155928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, two examples of non-cute Asian/White bebes: Jon Gosselin and Rob Schneider. Just sayin' ;)</p> <p>But yes, we have heard this from the beginning of the time... when we were dating 10+ years ago, when we got engaged, when we got married, when we finally announced we were pregnant... It doesn't bother me too much. As long as the baby doesn't look like it did in the U/S (HELLLLLO giant dome/forehead), we'll be happy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155914 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:02:24 +0000 mrsjyw 155914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: hehe hoaa you're so sweet.</p> <p>i LOVE hearing everyone's stories. I'm not at all offended by the sentiment, I'm also a believer bi/multi racial babies are BEAUTIFUL!</p> <p>It's just been an overwhelming response that we've heard (some cases without even a congrats!)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155900 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:50:26 +0000 Modern Daisy 155900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend from HS is 1/2 Omanian and 1/2 Irish and she is a model. And our niece is 1/2 Philipino and 1/2 polish/german and she's ridiculously adorable. </p> <p>So yeah, I can see why people say this, but I never go around saying it just in case it offends someone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155899 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:49:23 +0000 obxwife 155899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not mixed but - my first thought @mrsjyw: was that you guys would make beautiful babies but because YOU AND YOUR DH ARE BEAUTIFUL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155894 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:45:17 +0000 Mrsbells 155894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think biracial people and babies have very interesting features and can often end up with the best of both worlds. having said that I can see how it can be offensive to some people </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155891 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:42:47 +0000 plantains 155891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is all anyone talks about when we discuss the baby! It is pretty weird to be honest. I'm British Nigerian and DH is 1/4 Japanese, 1/4 Taiwanese and 1/2 Polish. The your baby will be so cute comments stress me out. Expectations are so high for the poor little bug and she isn't even here yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155872 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:31:13 +0000 MusicaV 155872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We heard it a few times before the pregnancy. Now it's just "You're baby will be so cute." I agree with @Crumbs, high expectations! Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155195 Fri, 11 May 2012 06:24:09 +0000 mrbee 155195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, you learn to ignore it.</p> <p>The technical term is hybrid vigor:<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155187 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:33:42 +0000 mediagirl 155187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Geez, people really say that? I will say maybe it's a good thing, no one has told Hops and me that we'll have a cute baby!! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155175 Fri, 11 May 2012 04:55:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 155175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been getting stuff like, "You're baby is going to be absolutely gorgeous." And a designer friend of mine is already calling dibs on having the LO model her baby clothes! It's really flattering but I'm a little nervous by all the comments. </p> <p>Such high expectations!!! I remember doing one of those face morph images of your future baby (way before we were even TTC) and our "kid" looked ... eh ... not so cute! Hahah. </p> <p>Honestly, I'm just praying for a healthy baby! But the pressure is there for a little model! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155169 Fri, 11 May 2012 04:36:32 +0000 tequiero21 155169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will remember not to say that lol. I absolutely love interracial babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155146 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:10:55 +0000 looch 155146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really think beauty is in the eye of the beholder in this case. Some babies are cuter than others, that is true. As a mom I think my son's adorable, I actually feel a little offended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155138 Fri, 11 May 2012 01:51:47 +0000 loveisstrange 155138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not in an interracial relationship but I have to say it is pretty true. My husband's co-worker (who is AA) had a baby with an English lady (who is white) here and she is ridiculously gorgeous. She's really light complected and has these big brown ringlets. Plus, she got her mom's eyes so she has these huge dark gray eyes and really long black lashes. Dad's going to need a big ole stick to beat off the boys when she gets older.</p> <p>I have to say... I think my baby is just as gorgeous though. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155081 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:33:15 +0000 sandy 155081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: her eyes are the first thing that everyone comments on :). Like you said, her eyes are beautiful no matter what color...I would love it if they turned brown bc then she'd look a little like me...she pretty much got everything from her Dada </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155076 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:24:37 +0000 mrskc 155076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely hear this. My husband is Chinese and I'm white. My step dad told me if it's a girl, then we're going to need a shotgun. haha I feel a lot of pressure to have a cute baby now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155071 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:20:47 +0000 MrsLilybugg 155071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: your nephew sounds sooo cute!!! :o)</p> <p>@sandy: wow your little girl's blue-grey eyes must be so beautiful. and how can anyone ever think you wouldn't love her brown eyes, if they did end up changing? don't they realize you love her eyes no matter what?! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155066 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:16:40 +0000 sandy 155066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: my hubby is tan with blue eyes and everyone kept saying things like we would be so lucky to have a little girl with Asian features and blue eyes. I assumed it was impossible but our LO has blue-grey eyes...they are beautiful but I hear they can change even up to the age of 3...everyone assumes I'll be sad if they turn brown but I think brown eyes are beautiful too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155062 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:09:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 155062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm soo sorry if it's offensive or annoying, but it's so true. bi-racial babies are by far the cutest babies/prettiest people ever. </p> <p>My sister (english, german, norwegian) married a Peruvian and their son is sooo stinkin adorable. Seriously, we all agree he is ten times cuter than a gap model and she would totally get him into baby modeling if she knew how to get started.</p> <p>The family I nanny for is also bi-racial; the father is Laos and the mom is some type of European decent (though darker, dark hair and eyes). Their children (one boy, one girl) are soo pretty. The five year old girl is seriously going to be drop-dead gorgeous when she's older.</p> <p>So I'm a little jealous too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155053 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:02:07 +0000 MrsLilybugg 155053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we hear it all the time too ! I am of Colombian and Guatemalan descent, and my husband is white with blue eyes. Everyone wants a tan baby with blue eyes (including me! ha ha!) I don't like the term "mixed" either though - I know what you mean about it being off putting. It's a BABY. not a "mixed" baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155047 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:59:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 155047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hear it endlessly and I'm always like, "so is our other daughter not beautiful?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-155005 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:41:14 +0000 BSB 155005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. We're not even pregnant, yet, and people keep asking us when we are going to have cute babies. </p> <p>The DH is on the other side. He's afraid to have daughter because he doesn't want to worry about fending off the boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-154996 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:36:36 +0000 sandy 154996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people just said "you guys are going to have the cutest baby!" but nobody really made comments about her being half white and half Asian...A lot of our closest friends are interracial couples so lots of half babies around. Some coworkers did say stuff like "half babies are so cute..they seem to get the best features from each parent"...and I didn't mind comments like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-154981 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:27:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 154981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, my childhood best friend who is getting married this weekend has a funny mom... she has always begged her daughter to marry a caucasian so that her grandkids could be beautiful. She's getting married (and starting with the babies right away, which her fiance is fully aware of!! haha) and.... not only is he white, but he's straight up British!! From the UK.</p> <p>I have seen a lot of half asian, half caucasian babies who are REALLY beautiful. My cousin (100% Korean and GORGEOUS) married a really beautiful Greek man (with blond hair and blue eyes) and their four boys are all absolutely gorgeous. All four of them look a little different-- asian coloring with caucasian eyes, or asian eyes with caucasian coloring. When they are all in middle and high school together, they are going to rule the town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-154975 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:23:43 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 154975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we heard this from the get-go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixed-babies-are-so-cute#post-154938 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:58:50 +0000 mrs. bird 154938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Irish/English &amp; DH is Nigerian. While I totally agree that most mixed race children are gorgeous, it does get old when everyone likes to remind you- in case you had forgotten your children would be mixed=/ </p>
