Are you a good looking family?

Dh and I are no great shakes, he is bald and I am a faded blonde gone to seed and flab.

Both kids are rather attractive, not amazing but quite a bit better looking than dh and me, they constantly amaze me, if I am honest.

and you?

Aye, well I am and DD is. Im not with her dad anymore, he'd bring the average down if I was

Hes a Peter Kay lookalike

suzywong · 19/03/2006 14:55

we are all stunners, althougth ds2 does look a little like Frank Skinner if he's sulking

WideWebWitch · 19/03/2006 14:58

Dh is good looking imo - he's blonde, tall, young. I probably was ok looking for a while there back in the 80s but am now flabby, middle aged and invisible. Ex dh has improved with age (Indian, big brown eyes, ds has taken after him in that) so I think I'm the weakest link tbh! Both children are gorgeous to me. Dd's nursery said about blonde haired big blue eyed dd 'ooh, I wouldn't want to be you, you'll be fighting off the blokes when she's older'.

JonesTheSteam · 19/03/2006 15:02

Well, I'm not biased at all Wink but I think DD is very pretty - blonde and blue eyed. Other mums at school (of boys!!) have commented on how pretty she is!!!

DS is cute, has huge brown eyes and a gorgeous smile but is still only 2, so hard to tell if it will last.

DH can look very handsome when he makes the effort - although he thinks he's starting to age now!!!

I'm the one who lets the family down, am slightly overweight, bespectacled because I can't wear my contact lenses at the moment, greying and chinless (even though there still seems to be two of them on photos - am not photogenic at all!!!!)

JoolsToo · 19/03/2006 15:07

no - ugly as sin

Cadbury · 19/03/2006 15:11

Well, my children are beautiful but goodness knows how as I am very fat with bad sking and bad hair and their father is bald, beardy, half blind without his specs and on the large side too.

Blackduck · 19/03/2006 15:11

no....thou' ds has lovely big brown eyes.....

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 19/03/2006 15:12

My kids and DH are pretty good looking, obviously the boys get it from DH - because it sure isn't from LOL.

noddyholder · 19/03/2006 15:15

I think most people see their kids as gorgeous.I know my ds is way better looking than me or dp but I'm sure I was more gorgeous than my parents when I was little IYKWIM

colditz · 19/03/2006 15:16

Dp and I are not physically attractive really, we find each other so, but nobody else does.

Ds is beautiful, it has been commented on by total strangers, he still looks like a girl at nearly 3 and I get comments like "Oh why do you keep her hair so short!"

He's not a model thoughWink

Troutpout · 19/03/2006 15:17

I'm a bit of an old trout... and dh is balding, small , with bad skin
ds and dd are however, are bloody gorgeous ...much better looking than any or your kids...and frankly would put most children on a modelling site to shame.

colditz · 19/03/2006 15:17

Yes actually, looking back on family photos I was a beatiful child until I was about 4. Totally bog standard and too fat to boot now.

intergalacticwalrus · 19/03/2006 15:17

No, we are all munters.

DS is a good looking kid, but he lets us down by always having snot streams on his face.

Kama- your family are gorgeous Envy

Yorkiegirl · 19/03/2006 15:25

people tell me my DDs are beautiful. No idea where they get it from as both of us are mingers.

spidermama · 19/03/2006 15:27

My dh is properly gorgeous. Everyone says so.
I did well there because I'm no oil painting.
Naturally all my kids are gorgeous. Grin

meggmoo · 19/03/2006 15:27

Ooh Kama you are a bunch of stunners!

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 19/03/2006 15:32

ooo kama - what a gorgeous family you are!!!

\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1700&threadid=87458&stamp=051117214321\this} is my DH and boys - a very old photo though - taken last summer Shock!

SleepyJess · 19/03/2006 15:33

Meanwhile, the SleepyJess family look like \link{http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/bullfrog2112/Alexfamily.jpg\this}! Grin Shock PMSL!!

DD: Look of High Drama
DS1: "Get me out of here.. I do not want to be associated with these people.."
DS2: "Waaa! I want a Jammie Dodger NOW!"
Me: "Oh God.. I really have to get this child a jammie dodger.. and I can't hold this blank exression much longer..'
DH: [heaven only knows WHAT he was thinking to make this face.. but he has made himself look a darn sight more disabled than is applicable for arthritis! Grin

This picture was on P9 on the local rag (and will be in the free version next week that EVERYONE will get!). Sadly, on the front page was a girl who goes to our church re something she had done at school.. with a write up on p8. So everyone from out church will have turned to page 8 to read about her.. and seen us looking lije that on p9!! Shock Hence my absense from church this morning. This WAS self-inflicted (it's obviously for a cause more important than my embarassment and shame) but I am still cringing...

SleepyJess · 19/03/2006 15:33

And Kama you ARE all gorgeous!!
