To not find any other kids cute, except mine?

I don’t actually have kids but I only find my niece and nephew cute, never so much anyone else’s kids. I find most other kids just a bit irritating really.

Is this normal, or am I very cold? 😂

Mine is fighting bedtime right now so I don't find him cute either.

I find other people's kids cute/adorable/lovely, but I think my son is beautiful and could spend hours looking at him when he's sleeping (he's a bit more annoying when he's awake!). It's a different kind of cute when it's your own.

I dont often find other people's kids cute, but there have been exceptions. I cleaned for a couple who had the most adorable 18 month old ever..made me broody

This kind of thread always has people falling over themselves to say how much they loathe any children other than their own 😆

It’s normal for me. I only like my own kids. Will only tolerate others, though I’m very kind and chatty with them.
