How responsible are your parents for your looks?

[yochico_yojordan]

What the title says.

How long you were breastfed, whether you received formula, when you started weaning, what foods you were given as a baby, what foods were available during your development, whether you played sports, whether you interacted with other children, what position you sleep in, how you chew and breathe, whether you were taught proper hygiene, how long you slept, when you got braces, all of these are factors that either affect or outright determine your development. Your face, your height, your skin, everything.

Some of them you have some degree of control over, but none of them started mattering AFTER you were aware. By the time most of us discovered BP, it was too late. Yes, we can do skincare, maybe spend thousands on surgery to fix the structural issues, but if we were fed and raised properly in the first place we wouldn't have them (or at least significantly less).

I'll give an example. My dad let me do whatever I want as a kid and didn't discipline me, or make me eat, so I basically starvemaxxed during puberty and stayed up all night playing video games, nuking my hormones. If he had been a normal parent and told me to get off the computer and play outside or pick up a fork I wouldn't be 5'9", I would 6'1" like him. If I had been given tougher foods and not processed goyslop, my ramus would be longer. If I had a bedtime and got regular sleep I would have more bonemass.

How responsible do you think parents are for their children's looks? I feel like my family brutally descended me, and like I am obligated to make sure my kids have good development

they aren’t responsible at all
My parents let me mouth breathe my entire life and I used to secretly stay up all night playing roblox
I’m still 6’2.5 and insanely forward grown (pm for proof)

fuck my chud life....

Still, if you nose breathed and got more sleep, your GH would be higher (making you even taller) and you would have more forward growth. You weren't nerfed like me but probably still had more potential

If I had any more forward growth I’d look like a fucking dog

I’m probably going to be at least 6’4 when I’m 18 which is perfect height imo I don’t want to be taller

Honestly my childhood wasn't too bad, and my dad would also have a go at me to fix my posture and how I sit from very young, but I'd never listen, still turned out alr ig his genes kinda saved me. During puberty tho I ate barley anything and what I did eat was proper shit, I couldn't rlly eat good food in my teens. Maybe I woulda been better looking if my sleep and other factors were better but who knows

Facts. People overplay the role good habits have. It’s still almost entirely genetic. Any good habits are a rounding error, compared to what your genetics determine.

The only issue is if you have harmful habits.

only things that matter here are nutrition and breastfeeding (and sleep but most people are normal with that)
shit habits like bad oral posture don't impact you as much as people
there were cases with twins who had completely different lifestyles, one had good habits, the other had shit habits, teeth extractions, etc, the twin with good habits looked slightly better but they still looked roughly the same

Childhood allergies which were genetic fucked up my breathing in my youth which caused me to have a recessed mandible and a longer face. Literally a few mm of bone in the right places could have changed my life trajectory

Not much purely RNG my brother didn’t do much different than me and is 6’5 big framed built like an American football or rugby player with a chad face you have to keep in mind you have 1000+ ancestors whose recessive genes randomly pop up environment has an impact but unless you’re malnourished or smoking crack at 9 it’s not that much of a game changer. My brother legitimately looks like a clone of my grandfather on my father’s side, my father takes after his mom more so again rng.

dnr your whole post there but Id say almost 100%, you inherit their genetics, but if we don't count genes they still choose your diet and what sports you play and your bed time etc, now obv you can stay up late yourself, and mouth or nose breathing is up to you but your parents can influence that if they told you one is worse than the other.
