Do you see your children's flaws/imperfections

[kiki22]

I started to wonder about this a while ago a friend of mine was bad mouthing her ex to me (frustration at him being a crap dad) and said he will never get another woman between his shit personality and big fucking nose. I know it's a mean thing to say but it was a private vent anyways her daughter has her dad's nose which a large with a big bump it made me wonder if she did not see that in her child or she does and thinks she will have an ugly nose.

I hear a lot of people say their children are perfect and wonder if they see their children as without flaw or perfect as they are imperfections and all.

I see my youngest son has ears that stick out like mine I think it's cute on him and have grown not to care about mine but I do worry he will be self conscious as a teen like I was. Having said that I don't see anything else on either of my children so maybe I only see the ears because it's my teenage insecurity.

My 4th child is as selfish as they come and thinks of herself before anyone else. She's the carbon copy of me as a young person

Yep, love her to pieces and she, obviously, has a lot of good points but my god has she got an attitude (and she's only 5!). The worse thing is, all her bad traits I can see she gets straight from me!

I see Dds stroppiness and cheek, sometime a bit lazy.

But physically I think she is beautiful. Like really beautiful. Makes me think it must be a mum thing and she is probably average in real life.

I can see my daughter is going to have a big nose like her dad and MIL. Hopefully she can pull it off but it is rather a masculine nose. Once asked on here if I should save up so she could have a nose job if she wishes and got flamed and ended up in a few newspapers.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is yes I can see she had inherited a big nose but she’s still gorgeous to me and parents can probably see things like this as well as personality flaws but just don’t mention it!

Phyically I think my DCs are gorgeous and I'd like to think that there's more to it than just mummy goggles They are evenly featured. DH and I don't have any particularly dominant features. Their hair is probably quite Marmite. They wouldn't look out of keeping on the beach in Cornwall... however we are a very long way from a beach in Cornwall

In personality I can see their strengths and flaws. DS1 can find his emotions hard to process, and he has to be right and finds it very difficult to mean an apology. He instinctively puts himself first and doesn't find it natural to think of others in an altruistic way. DS2 finds these things natural. However he can be more "naughty" at seeking attention by any means necessary. With DS1 "poor behaviour" is more connected with poor emotional balance and control.

My youngest daughter is almost 3, and quite hairy. She has a little tash and a slight monobrow. I worry about how old she'll be before the other kids start picking on her.

Mine are physically perfect, they’re gorgeous (not just me, random strangers say how beautiful they are).
However DD1 is 4 and a half, and is stubborn, has a foul temper and can be very lazy. She’s also incredibly accident prone.
DD2 is developing the same stubborn streak at age 2.
Love them to pieces and wouldn’t change them. They’re perfectly imperfect.

Physically my DC are very attractive. The first 4 have all been very successful child models. Dc5 is autistic so and never liked people so I didn't bother with her and by the time dc6 was born we lived too far away to make it work.

As a poster above, random people tell me how gorgeous they are. Dh and I are quite average but my mum was a beauty queen in her day.
