what's a good response to people who always write that my kids only look like mini- dh on FB??

yes, I am happy that my kids are cute like my DH but they are also obviously me as well. An old friend of his (hasn't seen him in 20 years) constantly comments how the kids are all DH, not me at all, clones of DH & I am sick of it. I was going to respond, "I guess you haven't seen DH in a while if you think that" I am done with her. She does this on purpose because that's how she is. She knows it will irritate me. I am unfriending her after I reply this last time.
I am sick of it, I do all the work with the kids, at least I deserve a truthful "wow, the kids are a mix of you two"

Write back something blunt like, "Pretty sure they're mine as well, I saw them come out of my own vagina!" That should shut her up.

I get those comments from everyone, I have 2 boys! One lady in the supermarket told me I should have a third so I will have one that looks like me And

At least you only have one person saying that, I have the whole world telling me

maybe something like.. I actually hear that they look like me. Mainly from people who personally know us. (I met her once for an hour)

I would write something back like: I know, I am soooo lucky to have such a wonderful, handsome husband and two adorable boys who love and adore me!

DH's family always points out that my kids look like him. I just had my 3rd on Thursday and dh's family said they saw our nephew in him and dh's aunt said she saw grandma (dh's mom). So I wrote "we just see baby's name. We don't think he looks like either side. But he's changing every day....". Everyone shut up real quick :). But they've been saying since I got all my 3D Sonos that he looks like someone on their side and I always said, " I don't see it. I think he look like himself since he's his own person". They did this with my twins too and I hate it!!!

I just read online on parenting under the 15 things to never say and the response given was "yes it's true I was not having an affair" not sure about that response but I laughed since everyone says that to me as well and I have a girl!!! It doesn't bother me though because it's true... She's blonde, pale skin, and has blue eyes like dad... I'm dark skinned, dark hair and brown eyes! Good thing I saw her come out of my stomach(csection)! Lol

I get this all the time with my DD. Everyone always says she looks like my DH and I know she does. Sometimes I see myself in her facial expressions. At a family party this past weekend, someone said to me "you did all the work and she looks nothing like you." All I said was "I know!" and laughed it off.

Im a wiseass so id write "beats him looking like the mailman!"

DH's family was nonstop with DS#1. He has straight hair, like me, DH has curly. I said "at least he has my hair." MIL said" oh no...BIL had that hair when he was born" After months of this, I finally replied "I'm getting the maternity test on Monday."

At first she looked at me and said "Oh OK" and then she got it and now goes out of her way to say how much DS#2 looks like me.

Happens to me a lot and I have girls. I typically shrug it off but occasionally say something equally ridiculous back like "Guess it was a good thing those guys I cheated with looked so much like DH..". Or "I get told that a lot but I also get told DH and I look like brother and sister. I guess I must really love myself to marry someone who looks so mcuh like me." or "Good thing DH makes such an attarctive girl, maybe he should dress in drag more often." The funny thing is my older DD looks just like me at that age and the little one looks like my sister.

As a species, our offspring normally look like the father, at least for the first couple of years. It's a survival technique. Obviously the mother knows that DC is theirs..... the father isn't guaranteed it's his (from a species point of view, it's not a dig at anyone's relationship with their DH or anything.... ). If DC has visible traits of the DH, then he is assured that it is his, and he will stay with the family. If DC changes appearance later in life, it's OK, since he knows it's his already.

It doesn't always happen, but there is a genetic/species survival reason for people to think this way.

ETA: both DC looked a lot like me when they were born. Now, DS looks a lot like me, and DD looks a lot like DW.
