I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing DC has blue eyes and they’re often the first thing people notice. (Which is fine)
but lately people seem to comment every time they look darker (say if I take a photo at night) people constantly comment on whether they’ll stay blue. Even complete strangers will come up and comment several have warned me they’ll change by 2 years rolls eyes
I have brown eyes and I’m not white so I’m not sure if that makes people more inclined to comment
does anyone else have similar experience? Does this happen to all children or all blue eyed children
AIBU?

Mine were blue as a child, people always commented on them.. By the time I was 10 they had started changing, now they're blue/green (differed a lit) with flecks of hazel
when firms ask eye colour I just write 'other' now.

My niece has very beautiful blue/green eyes - they are really extraordinary and everyone used to comment on her eyes when she was younger. She's 19 now and people still mention her eyes sometimes.
My brother also has blue eyes whereas it's unusual in my family and people used to comment on it a lot. He was also very blonde as a child. People used to always say he looks like a little angel.

I'm interested to know what forms are you completing all the time that ask you to specify your eye colour.

Yes - the first thing people notice about my 8 month old is his big blue eyes. People have said about them possibly changing. They won't, as both his parents have blue eyes.
