I never know how to react to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685734 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 17:12:44 +0000 Snowdrop 1685734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Surely this is just a nice compliment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685721 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 17:00:50 +0000 sandy 1685721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just smile and say "thank you.

It's pretty easy to say thanks or "I think so too", but what do you do when they go on and on? It feels weird to say thanks again and also weird not to.</p> <p>@aegie: Is your LO Paige? So is mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685698 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:45:30 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1685698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say "I think so too, but I'm biased!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685691 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:41:20 +0000 CakeLady 1685691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my baby is only 4 days old , I can't get enough of it honestly! I'm sure I that as he gets older I'd rather people notice that he is kind, smart, helpful or hardworking, but right now I'm pretty glad that people say he's beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685687 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:37:07 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1685687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: lol me too! I must have a huge mama head cause I eat up the compliments lmao </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685685 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:35:47 +0000 Ree723 1685685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually smile and say 'thank you, we think so too' or 'yes, she's a keeper for sure!' Something along those lines.... It would be weird to say anything else so a simple thank you feels perfectly normal and acceptable to me. </p> <p>And of course, I do think I have two of the most beautiful babies in the world so naturally people would compliment me on them! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685682 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:31:54 +0000 looch 1685682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, we all know its small talk, so I just smile and nod I agreement. </p> <p>Even the unfortunate looking babies get called cute, because who would call a baby ugly? That's just heartless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685681 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:31:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1685681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ususally smile and say thank you - "we think so too!" and laugh it off.</p> <p>@hummusgirl: lol. the babies got the genes from us ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685676 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:29:39 +0000 Mae 1685676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol I say "I know! She is adorable!"</p> <p>Doesn't feel awkward to me.. They aren't complimenting me. And she IS gorgeous so I might as well agree. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685675 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:29:14 +0000 hummusgirl 1685675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This reminds me of a post from the Honest Toddler: "Why do my parents say 'thank you' when strangers compliment MY good looks? So desperate for attention. Sad." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685648 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:06:36 +0000 wonderstruck 1685648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just smile and say thank you. I've never really felt awkward about it though, maybe I just have a big head but he is pretty much the cutest thing ever! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685645 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:06:06 +0000 .twist. 1685645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always ask him to say thanks! </p> <p>I do find it awkward though. I always feel like I should compliment back... "uh... I like all your cats". haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685640 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:02:14 +0000 winniebee 1685640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always say thanks and if their kid is around will say "so and so is so cute too!" Some woman at the grocery store went on and on about how he has the best eye brows. Now I thought that was strange and didn't know what to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685619 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:52:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 1685619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it- I always say thank you! :) she gets complimented constantly - I'm afraid once she understands, she will get a big head :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685591 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:37:44 +0000 aegie 1685591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i say, "Paige so and so said you're pretty, what do you say?" and she will respond "thank you". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685514 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:04:18 +0000 septca 1685514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am proud of it! I always say thank you sincerely. </p> <p>But honestly, DD is *stunning* so we get stopped a lot. Not sure how that happened - DH and I are both attractive, but spectacularly so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685489 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:54:36 +0000 mediagirl 1685489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People stare at my daughter. Strangers have come up to us to tell us how cute/pretty she is. It's weird and awkward but I always say thank you. What's MORE awkward is when they keep going on about it. And then I'm all, "mumbling strange noises..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-people-tell-you-your-lo-is-pretty-cute-handsome-etc#post-1685473 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:49:23 +0000 Cherrybee 1685473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually beam and say thank you, probably engaging in some kind of small talk as well..... but I feel awkward deep down because, well, I don't her growing up thinking "pretty" is the ultimate compliment. I want people to comment on how clever she is or how kind she is so she values those characteristics above all others..... </p>
