I think my little ones are does it change when they are men?

🤔

My eldest is nearly 17. He has a little teenage acne at the moment, but otherwise yes I'm probably biased but I think he is very good looking!

Sparklingbrook · 14/10/2022 22:02

Never really thought about it TBH. Everyone thinks their little DC are beautiful don’t they?

DramaAlpaca · 14/10/2022 22:04

I still think my three adult sons are handsome, of course I do. They're three different combinations of me and their dad, so of course they are! They may not be considered so by others, but they are my wonderful boys.

Yes.
he was a gorgeous baby, and he's grown up to be a happy, sociable, polite, handsome man.

Weird thing to post. You sound a bit fixated on looks.

Absolutely, I was just wondering if I would look at them and feel the same when they are older.

People tell me that both ds's are good looking, handsome. That's good enough for me.

Not fixated at all just a passing thought this evening.

They just grow into teenagers and you don’t really think about it any more. Would be a bit weird I think.

BeetyAxe · 14/10/2022 22:07

Yes I do, but only because they are. They haven’t always been but they are at the minute. Braces and newly cleared skin have helped matters significantly!

Dreamscomingtrue · 14/10/2022 22:07

My sons were good looking children & are now still good looking in their 30’s.
the grandchildren even more so. ☺️

You never hear a parent say “my child is no oil painting but they are so kind and have a lovely personality”.

BagOfGin · 14/10/2022 22:11

That's a really interesting question. I think my children are really beautiful and always have, to the point that I was sure other parents must be jealous! But now, looking back at baby pictures from 10 years ago, I can see them more objectively and actually they're really normal-looking kids and I was just very biased.

I don't know if that will ever stop or if it's just a thing you do when you're kids are small.

I have 3 good looking DS's. They were all very cute toddlers too. People tell me my eldest is very handsome. They are all quite different looking and whilst the youngest is a bit geeky, he is still striking. With him a lot depends on how he has his hair, I am always telling him it suits him slightly longer ! I sometimes look at them and wonder how they are so good looking as neither me or dh are particularly good looking, although dh was very good looking when younger.

Whoareyoumyfriend · 14/10/2022 22:13

I feel awful for.my thoughts. My youngest isn't the best looking but to me he's the most gorgeous boy. He's wonderful.
My eldest is handsome. However I look at him and wonder how such a handsome boy can be so challenging strongly believe it's undiagnosed autism

Yes after teenage years mine have kind of emerged very good looking in their early twenties !

Icecreamandapplepie · 14/10/2022 22:14

So far everyone thinks their older sons are lookers!

Think you've got your answer there 😅

My 20 yr old son is very handsome - he is oblivious to it though!- was a very cute child- massive eyes and long eyelashes which he still has.

thistimelastweek · 14/10/2022 22:14

Mine is really handsome

With the right haircut.

I'm not even joking.

Sparklingbrook · 14/10/2022 22:16

I would love to see some pics to see whether it’s true . 😄

Wailywailywaily · 14/10/2022 22:16

DS is 22, I wish that he dressed better but he is rather gorgeous (if I do say so myself). I was told that he is very charismatic by someone recently which I thought was a nice compliment. He is outgoing, kind and a lot of fun to have around (he still lives with me).

Elderly ladies used to look at my toddler ds and say "those lashes are wasted on a boy "😂

I've got three. First is objectively extremely good looking. He has no luck with women.

Second is attractive and has a fabulous relationship.

Third is gay and I've yet to meet a boyfriend.
