In-laws say baby looks EXACTLY like daddy

You aren't crazy. I get irritated when my in laws say the same 🤷‍♀️🙄🤨

Yh my in-laws do the same. If u can’t beat them join in. I over exaggerate- I even add my 2 pence. Like when the kids are stubborn or naughty infront of the in-laws. I say oh wow not only do they look like ur son! They behave like him too!!!!

It bothered me too because it’s like we spend 9 months creating this baby to everybody say it looks like dad is pretty annoying. My baby literally looked exactly like me, A little bit less now and now he looks more like dad but in laws were saying that before too. 😂 it was annoying, not so much anymore

Yep mine do and I live with them so I hear it every day!
Even though I had a pic of me and my son looks mainly like me but I just let them have it because I can’t be botherd with it anymore, end of the day he’s beautiful regardless ☺️

I get irritated too.. my oldest looks more like my ex husband and his family more than she does me.. and even if someone says she looks like me.. my ex mother in law will be quick to say “oh no she looks just like her daddy” this is still going on and she’s 17

I get it lots but I don’t care. Not judging you for caring but just adding my 2 cents xxx

I got annoyed at first because a lot of people (including my MIL) said my daughter looked like my husband, but jokes on them because she's 18 months old now and she's my baby twin! 🤣😍

Everyone says our little girl looks like her daddy. Literally everyone, even if we meet them for five seconds 🤣 it was the first thing the health visitor said to me and strangers in the street say it.

Only my family can see me in her apparently 🤣

It does bother me a bit but I know nobody’s trying to annoy me and they are right, she does look more obviously like him xx

Omg its so frustrating and really makes me so angry when the In laws always say how much she looks like my partners kid which is the most annoying thing to me... how can his kid with his ex look like my baby girl I grew her she is half me. Don't think they realise how much it does upset me or even thought about what they are saying 😔

They didn’t say it all the time but they said it. It never bothered me. She is half him so it’s definitely a fact.

As an infant, she definitely looked more like him. Some of my features but more like him. Now, who she looks like really depends on the day. She’s a pretty good mix of us and some days she still looks like him and some days she looks like me

My mother in law does all the time. Granted, I'm mixed and my kiddo is blonde hair blue eyes so she does favor my husband more then me but my MIL literally says everything my girl does is because of my husband. Its a lot of "oh her dad did the same thing." "Yup, she gets that from her dad." She has curly hair and apparently she gets that from him too... she does not. He has stick straight hair and always has. Haha I get so annoyed. Even my hubby gets annoyed. I swear she also just makes stuff up.

I notice that my son people always think he looks like the person they know the best. So my in-laws family think that he looks like my husband. People who know my dad thinks he looks like my dad. People who are friends with both of us think that he's a mix of both of us. People who come up to us on the street I think he looks just like me. I think it's especially true for the father's family to want to see themselves in the child because the baby is so innately connected to the mother. If the baby looks like the dad then they feel more connected to the baby.

I think just the fact that people talk as if they KNOW your child best is what's annoying.

This happens to me but opposite, with my mom. She always sweears that my daughter looks identical to me. My daughter has my eyes, on her dad's face/ head basically lol. She's perfect regardless and definitely looks like a solid blend of BOTH of us.
& my mom's weird need to push my husband out of the equation annoys me. Like if I say "she has her dad's nose" she tries arguing. As if I don't see both of them every single day ??

Omg I get this all the time!!
It really gets to me too!
The sister in law will also chime in and say “oh she has my cheeks”
I’m thinking
“erm..no, she has mine, is my daughter inbred!? “ Lol
because my daughter also looks like me when I was little but they haven’t seen any photos of me at my daughters age.
It’s one of my biggest peeves ever!

My in laws say she only looks like her daddy but everyone else says she looks like both of us. It cracks me up because it tells me that my in laws just refuse to acknowledge that she looks like me.

Especially now that's she's starting to have her own face that doesn't look like my husband. Even my husband noticed it but my in laws still say she only looks like Andy. Truth is right now she doesn't look like either one of us. She has a good mix of both of our features.

Most people say our boy looks like me and I think he does. Even from his 4D scan lol. My mother in law will say he’s got their family’s chubby cheeks, chunky thighs, ears, even toes! Lol. When my hubs was actually quite a slim baby with slim face and thighs. I put it down to excitement and like you say…reminiscing. When we are at events extended family say he looks just like me and I’m like 😇🥰 but I do feel bad for my hubs if anything! X

They say he looks like husband’s brother, which is really uncomfortable to me. Obviously genetically totally possible, but the jokes (low key insinuations)… 🥴 yeah I’m no longer laughing. So I guess it could be worse lol

Ehhh, they’re just familiar with your husband and finding similarities.
I don’t think it’s personal or intentional.
My mom constantly insists that my son looks just like me, when in reality he ONLY has my eyes and nose (granted those are major features lol) and everything else about him is my husband to a tee

I think most babies are supposed to look like the dad at first. Something to do with the male recognizing his genes in the baby to confirm it’s his. Not sure how scientific that is but it’s what I’ve always heard.
It doesn’t bother me at all. I think they go through phases of looking like each parent and even other family members.

This makes me thankful that I have a donor..although I still get told my baby looks more like my wife than me 80% of the time! 😂

Yep my mil is like this she will say he looks like everyone other than me. I just laugh Im a twin and my sisters sons and my son look like brothers so he obviously looks like me somewhere in there.

EVERYONE says my baby boy looks just like his daddy too! I just tell them, I'm thankful I married a good looking man! 🤣 Don't let it get to you momma!

I am at the other end of the boat. My inlaws constantly bring up his ex girlfriend when we have been together going on 13 years. Which bugged me already but since our daughter has been born they make the biggest point of saying how they don't see him at all in her when ever they visit.
When all i see is her dad just radiating from her when ever I look at her. I know they just do it to get at me (which it does) but I try not to let them see that it does no matter how hard it is.

Yep but they were 100% correct 😂 I actually felt the opposite, I was so happy she looked like her daddy and that everybody thought so too, she does look more like me now though

It can be annoying just feeling like they are so one sided. I get it. My mil says every single thing my son does is what my fiancé did as a child lol

You’re not crazy. I get it too. It doesn’t bother me as much as I think it’s hilarious bc my son has my exact face — but mil always says he looks just like his dad. For the record my husband and I look absolutely NOTHING alike. Maybe they are seeing what they want to see, or trying to convince themselves the baby looks like their side (odd flex??). I do see how it can be annoying to you. Next time you can say something like; “yes, she has his eyes but those are definitely my lips” (or whatever feature of yours she has.)

People will say a kid looks "just like" or "more like" both of you at various points probably. My husband was actually the one annoyed by people saying our son looked so much like him as a baby because we think he actually favors me way more 🤷🏻‍♀️ It just depends on what features individuals take note of and who those particular features favor I guess. I think grands tend to see their own kids more in their grand kids as a way of bonding. In a way they are then seeing themselves in baby too. It's one of those things I chalk up as annoying but harmless and from a well-intentioned place.

My LG does look like her dad but yeah my inlaws constantly say it which gets annoying at times

Leave them speak a baby changes with time she will look like you later or not or not her dad ... Its life :D I have 3 older brothers and baby we looked the same. But after growing (we still see we are the same family definitely but) I look exactly like my mum sometimes and exactly like my dad some other days really depends on the facial expression. Don't worry. However, I would be a bit anoyed maybe ahah maybe a bit selfish but we carried the baby. Ahahah 🐥

Yes, I felt that way with my first. I think we want them to look like us.. but in reality.. we did create them together so chances are they will have features of both of us! Different stages will be more like mom then maybe another stage more like dad. My MIL would say that about my second but then my mother says my second looks a lot like me as a baby.. who knows?! They can state their opinions but in reality doesn’t matter cuz I know both my kids are beautiful no matter which parent they look like. I tell my in-laws it’s a good thing we have good looking father and mother. ;) now my MIL admits my first looks more like me. Looking back I can see her father in my first when she was a baby.

Everyone says my baby looks like me but looking at pictures of my husband as a baby, my LO looks like my husband. One thing I hate is when my specifically my MIL says oh I would have changed his clothes but you don't want me to so I don't. She runs a daycare and doesn't change any of the other kids clothes unless they get them really dirty or have an accident...so don't change my kids clothes if they aren't really dirty or he leaked/blowout from diaper. Ugh she says it almost everytime I pick him up it's so annoying.

My in laws do this too! Mostly my mil. What annoys me the most is when they say extended family. Like omg he looks so much like x who’s your second niece twice removed. Like, NO, he looks like me! Lol ugh
