Every new parent thinks that their tiny bundle of joy is the smartest, sweetest, cutest little thing on the planet. But lets face it - that is not always the case. On the risk of offending parents everywhere, I would like to inform you that no, your baby might not be the "prettiest little thing," or the "most handsome little boy ever born." Some of you, in fact, have ugly babies.

Good parenting does not allow you to actually say this out loud to others. However, please keep in mind that while you might be "ohhhing" and "ahhhing" over your little one, click on the the Video tab to see how others might want to react.

This is not to say that ugly babies cannot grow up and be extremely attractive later in life, it just might take them a few years. So if a friend or family member is a bit hesitant about proclaiming your child to be "breathtaking," don't force them into it. It might be time to face the fact that your wee infant has a face that only a mother can love, so don't expect everyone you know to lie about it and tell you otherwise.

But at least your child doesn't look like the baby on the left. So what do you think? Do you have to lie about ugly babies and call them gorgeous?
