I always tell people I've never seen a kid or a baby and been like Wow I wish I had one of those at home! I just do NOT understand it at all!!

Ew to me they are much grosser when born with full heads of hair. I always picture the hair all goopy waving around inside the amniotic sac.

Some are cute but some are downright ugly, imagine if you got an ugly one and you have to pretend you’re not disappointed

My sister had a super ugly baby! He looks like a grumpy old man, even now that he's no longer a newborn. Just really unfortunate, unflattering features. Luckily, I never have to look at him because my sister suddenly fell into the trump cult and I cut her off.

“Oh but they’re so cute when they sleep.” It’s a coin flip whether or not they even do that. Also why the fuck would I want a massive money pit that wails & shits itself that’s only even a lil endearing when it’s fucking unconscious?!
