"I feel jealous and upset": this mother does not accept that her baby looks like the father

When you wear a baby for nine months in your belly, you often want him to be a "mini-moi".Or at least that he inherits one of our physical features, like eyes, nose or mouth.But when the baby is absolutely not like us and he is his father's spitting portrait, the pill can be difficult to swallow.

If many take it with humor (what ungrateful this baby after all the nausea I have undergone!), Others are nevertheless downright disappointed.Last April, on the Mumsnet forum, a mother said she was "jealous" of her daughter's resemblance to her dad.She can no longer bear to be told that her baby is double her father, and asks Internet users if she does not exaggerate.

"I am really annoyed to be so touched by this subject but my first child (a 7 -week girl) looks like my partner.Since she was born, everyone says it.His family.My family...everybody.Each photo that we put online is followed by an avalanche of comments towards him: "Oh, it's your double", etc. ", she begins by telling.Before adding: "First, I don't want my daughter to look like a 40 -year -old.Second, maybe I'm unreasonable, but I'm really jealous and upset that she doesn't look like me.I have the impression of having devoted so much time and efforts to its construction and spending 90 % of my time taking care of it, but I see nothing of me in its appearance and literally everythinghim.To make things worse, my partner does not really like being a new father and I try to help him adapt, but I don't have the impression that he really likes him.All this seems very unfair to me.»»

The young mother continues, explaining that she is very happy to have a healthy baby, but that it puts her morale in the socks.In comments there have been many to reassure her: at 7 weeks, a baby does not have her final appearance, he will still change a lot.And maybe as growing up, the little girl will look a little more like her mother.
