Why does everyone tell new mums their baby is gorgeous?

The other thing I hate is "he's got your <feature>". No it bloody doesn't, unless you have a very strong genetic feature/disfigurement in which case mentioning it might not be polite

Have to agree, they all look the same to me. I've a friend who updates us with pictures of her newborn on Facebook, and I end up "liking" the odd picture just to be friendly. In truth I think they're quite boring until they start talking!

This is done to reassure the Dad that he is actually the father

Also all babies look like Winston Churchill to me - but they're still cute

You hate it? Life is hard.

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: 'Ugh, that's the ugliest baby I've ever seen!' The woman walks to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: 'The driver just insulted me!' The man says: 'You go up there and tell him off. Go on, I'll hold your monkey for you.'

You bleddy racist!

All anyone has ever said about my sons is "Wow! How enormous is that penis".

They shouldn't point it out. Penis-nose syndrome is a serious condition.

My friend is a stunning barbie type, daughter looked like dad; jet black curly hair and wonky eyes. She had to keep a pink band on its head for the first 2 years as a 'it's a girl' flag, shame.

Did you then realise that it was the umbilical cord?
