Ugly Kids

In one of my past posts, I mentioned that I don't want to have kids. Well not right now, at least. Lately however, I've been thinking about how I would feel about my kids if I do end up having them. This may sound superficial but I hope my kids turn out cute. I always wonder how I would feel if my kids turned out ugly. Would I still love them the same? Would I be embarrassed to show pictures of them to strangers? 

I always wonder if this is how parents with ugly children feel. I mean, there are ugly people in the world so of course there have been shares of ugly babies. How would I feel if a friend saw my child for the first time and I didn't hear, "Aww! Your daughter/son is so adorable" or "He/she is so cute"? Would I feel bad that I had an ugly child? Would I even notice or would I think my child is adorable no matter what?

On Facebook when people post pictures of their children, they will always get at least 1 comment saying how cute or adorable their child is, even when that kid is freaking hideous. I have a few friends on Facebook that have the most ugly children. I know I'm a bitch for saying this, but it's true! And it seems like they constantly post pictures of their children for all their friends to see in hopes that someone will reassure them that their child is cute. One Facebook friend of mine has a daughter who looks like Chuckie. Remember Chuckie? That hideous looking talking doll from the Child's Play movies? And of course, whenever she posts pictures of her daughter, she gets tons of positive comments. It makes me wonder if the commenters are lying to her to make her feel better or if they're telling the truth. 

OK. So I might be cursed with having ugly children for saying and thinking all these mean things. Am I the only one who feels this way? Maybe it's because I don't have any children. People always say your views change once you have children. I have a reputation for being too honest about everything. I once told a close friend that her son looks like a baby troll. I didn't mean to say it so be mean but it was just an observation. You know, those toys that people used to collect a years and years ago? I think those things are cute. But I think it offended her that I said that. But honestly, every time I looked at that kid, I was reminded of those baby trolls!

Aren't these baby trolls cute?

Of course, I would only say these things to my close friends. I would never tell that mother on Facebook that her child looks like Chuckie because we aren't that close. On a positive note, if I ever tell my friends that their child is cute, they can be assured that I'm telling them the truth.
