Well, my children are constantly getting comments on their hair color from strangers, friends, relatives. I never know what to say.... it's awkward...
"Well thank you - yes I personally picked out those genes for them."
People mean well. I just tell my kids to say "Thank you" and change the subject.
It's so weird to realize how people view you and your family from the outside - recently we attended a big event and I got a compliment for how well my kids behaved. In reality DS spent the whole time clinging to me because he was overwhelmed, while DD didn't eat a thing during dinner and managed her anxiety by playing with putty.
