Have you ever been told that your child looks more like the other parent?

I do have the same thing happen to me all the time! I know with absolute certainty that my son looks exactly like my husband! But I still get people who say that they see me in him. It's simply not true. But as long as they're giving a positive comment I really don't mind so much. And my husband is a good looking man so I don't mind that my son looks like him.

well, i am not a parent, so won't understand how it feels to a parent. but on this issue, sometimes i feel many people just say this for the sake of saying so. i resemble my mother completely... some say i am her scanned copy... true, we resemble a lot. yet there are people who would say i resemble my father, though there is no such resemblance. this makes me think that sometimes people just say this to start a close communication.

My husband side say my son looks like my husband and my family looks like me.Different people see different things in the kids.My son looks the dead spit of my daughter yet they have different fathers really strange.my grandaughter looks the dead spit of her mother and my grandson looks the dead spit of his dad,so everybody sees what they want to see.Just accept it with a yea really.

When my son was born I was told by my side of the family that he looks just like me and his side of the family used to sya that he looked just like my hubby. SO we told everyone therafter that we both were born twins. and we looked exactly the twins when we were born. It was hilarious. Naturally of my kid resembled him and me too then we must have looked exactly the same as kids, wouldn't we.

I found it funny. The only people that said anything like that about my son is his father's family. My baby looks like the both of us depending on the time of day. He looks like me until about late afternoon (as crazy as that may sound) His father's mother and sister both told me that he looks more like his father, but I know that is their way of trying to be funny...

I have been told that I look like my dad but has the skin complexion of my mum, while my sister has my dad's darker skin but looks like my mum. It's fair, I guess. Now that I have a daughter of our own, many people has commented that she looks like my hubby with wide forehead and stuff. At first, I was hurt by such comments, but not anymore. I learn to deal with it.

Recently we I went back to my gynae for a check up. She was wondering who my daughter looks like. I said she looks like my hubby. Then she told me that my hubby looks like me, so she looks like the both of us. That was the best compliment I have ever had about who my daughter looks like, my hubby or me.

hello...we have no child now but i was told that my newphew(my oldsister's son)looks like me . even he act like me as my childhood, how sweet it is!
my newphew once said to his grandma that he is hot on a very cold day when his grandma forced him to wear a coat he does not like. so he lied to his grandma by this excuse what i used 20 years ago. he is only 3 years old and i only saw him 2 times. how magic it is.

Children change so rapidly when they are growing, so for a few months they may look like you, other times they may look like your husband. I find this common with my two children. Sometimes people say, oh my she looks just like you, other times they say, oh my lord... She's her daddy over and over again, same goes for my son with the same comments. I know my daughter is a splitting image of me, but not so much in looks right now, but additude, her personality, and that could be why you feel so strongly about your daughter looking so much like you.

My daughter looks exactly like a mother.A true carbon copy.I just cannot have any opinion about it except for giving into this fact.
