    All babies are ugly

    They should be put down, only the strong and handsome should survive.

    Most babies look awful. Like I'd cry with horror after all that pushing and pain to be handed a shrivelled up wrinkly person with a film of gross stuff still on them.
    That said, they do tend to get better looking.

    I think you're ugly inside op.

    They acknowledge it when the person gets older. My brother had a gastrointestinal operation when he was two weeks old, for Pyloric stenosis, which left him looking absolutely hideous for the next few weeks. We used to have a photo of him, taken shortly after the operation, and I even managed to get my mum to agree (albeit many years later) that he was a very ugly baby.

    Nobody ever says anything because a new mother would tear them limb from limb for not gooing over her adorable squishy little babby.

    There has been an inordinate amount of hairy babies born in my parish since a particularly amorous milkman started doing the rounds (so to speak).

    I'm on about the ugly babies that will stay ugly forever, most of them look like a constipated Jimmy Magee.

    Ah so you are on about ugly people?

    Some people are beautiful some are ugly. That is just the way it is ( I am in the second camp).

    Couple of months back I was standing beside a couple holding a baby and another couple were walking past and the woman stopped and said:

    "Oh what a cute little baby. What's his name?" The other woman, with a look that would have Medusa to shame, says: "Amy".

    I know a mother who has a big, fat baby.
    She's always feeding him - it's like an obsession.
    He's got rolls of fat on his arms, legs, belly.

    People always say stuff like 'Wow, he's very solid isn't he?'
    She beams with pride.

    But actually what they mean is 'Your child is already starting to look dangerously obese and you should probably stop constantly shovelling food down his gob.'

    I bet Amy is dressed head to toe in pink now to detract from her boyish looks

    You'd need proof if you're going to make that sort of accusation. I've heard that he's a very careful man. A very careful man.

    The same doctrine should be followed as seen in the movie 300. No exceptions.

    Not when it comes to taking precautions in the bedroom :rolleyes:

    Luck can change. I was hideous looking as a baby but now I'm stunning (and modest too). In fact, we joke that my mother's PND was triggered by how hideous I looked :pac:

    I'm an ugly baby.

    On the inside.

    Babies are inherently cute.

    You wouldn't be advocating artificial contraception, would you?

    First thing my mother ever said to me was that I was a horrible looking baby. Apparently the nurse wasn't amused.

    Ugly identical twins?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭The One Doctor


    Newborns are not cute. I defy anyone to be cute after being pushed through a 10cm tunnel while out of their tiny squashed heads on drugs as well as being jetlagged, hungover and covered in blood and amniotic fluid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    My first daughter was squished and wrinkly when she arrived into this world. Ill admit she didn't look pretty but she was the most beautiful little thing in the world to me.

    My second daughter had a easier birth and arrived looking perfect and beautiful and still is.

    They were both beautiful to me (just in different ways)

    What sexual position produces the ugliest kids?
    Ask your parents

    I'd agree with the op. I'm noticing these days that there are a lot of very sloppy babies who look as though they couldn't be bothered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,657 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    You hear people saying how the name just came to them when they saw the baby for the first time.

    If that was the case there would be a lot more babies called Winston.

    Or Churchill, I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    It's always difficult to tell a parent their baby resembles a gremlin. So when I'm asked the usual nonsense - "Who do you think they look like?" I usually reply with - "Themself."


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    They are out there but nobody ever says anything.

    I don't know about that.

    My mother tells my brother that he was so ugly when he was born, that when the placenta was delivered she thought it was twins.

    :)

    Most babies are cute because they're ickle and have tiny fingers and toes. Some are horrors who look like mini geriatrics, but they tend to grow into themselves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    Seriously, all babies are ugly [AND THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME, aside from colour variation] compared to, say, kittens and puppies - only ones that say otherwise are the parents, and suck up friends too afraid to tell the truth ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 littlebuddy84


    Babies are the ugliest things ever. I really don't understand people who think their lovely/cute.

    I dont know why people would get offended. If they didnt change the baby themselves they wouldnt be able to tell either.

    Child birth is a lot like maggots wriggling forth from rotting apples.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    I was an ugly baby. 39 years later things have not improved.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Ugly babies? What about the hairy ones?!?!? :eek: It's like they couldn't be bothered.

    No just twice the ugly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 159 ✭✭CantonasCollar


    I would agree that most newborns look fairly similar, but I have seen a truly ugly baby. 15 months later and she has only got worse. I feel sorry for her parents, because they must know she is ugly and people are lying if they say anything different.


  • Registered Users Posts: 763 ✭✭✭Lucy and Harry


    I often hear women sniggering ''oh its a ginger'' when they see a new baby that has red hair.Always reminds me of Dumbo when they mocked his big ears.So cruel.

    That's so cruel! They're probably just jealous and dried up.

    He's not ginger with a flat cap and an expensive gold watch is he?

    Frankly I'll love my child in spite of anything.

    Except if it's ginger, obviously.

    ^I hope my baby has red hair. It's an amazingly effective dickhead filter :)
