Too beautiful

[toobeautifulforwords]

Does everyone else fine their children just too beautiful for words? I’m not so idiotic that I think my kids are actually genuinely extraordinarily beautiful… so I assume other people feel this way… do you? Mine are 2 and 4 if that matters.

Bless him - that’s lovely

Mine too.

My dad is a total misogynist. He judges women by their looks. Luckily for me it’s natural to think your DC are perfect.

According to my dad, I’m stunningly beautiful, funny and clever and look really young.

It’s lovely to hear, but obviously I don’t approve of the misogyny.

Me too OP!

My DD is only 14 months but DP and I often talk about how beautiful she is. We also know that objectively, she was bald for ages and then did a great impression of William Hague, hair-wise.

Yeah - I guess it lands differently in this context

I'm so interested in this. I have absolutely no minds eye at all, can't picture a thing, so cant picture a face at all including my children, so how do I recognize them? So odd.
I assume you can recognize the shape of letters etc to read, so the processing is in there somewhere... I think we just can't access it? I wonder about dreams too... I definitely see pictures in my dreams etc...

I'm very good at recognising people's walk eg my late db was standing across the street waving at me and I had no idea who he was but if I saw him walking I would know it was him immediately. I was actually a very early reader at 2 and a half so I've never had a problem with letters and I'm also pretty good at jigsaws etc. Give me a photo with my dc in and I often point someone else out especially in school uniform, ballet clothes etc. I tend to dream in words.

My son had/has congenital heart disease. I didn't notice that he was often slightly blue until he was a few months old. I can see it in the photos now though. Thankfully the hole in his heart closed by itself. I am not sure how helpful thinking your kids are beautiful is.
