I Want My Baby to Not Have
I was thinking, I can't be the only one who is afraid their baby will get a bad feature from their father. I have my fingers crossed that my boys don't get my husband's long nose. It suits my husband because he has a very long face. My Mother always says, " [My DH] walks into a bar. The bartender says 'Why the long face?', Oh wait, I got the joke wrong. It is 'a horse', not [My DH]."
I just hope my boys don't get the E-worth nose.
Any bad features you hope your babies don't inherit?

Re: I Want My Baby to Not Have
I was terrrified if we had a girl it would get my legs....but boy it is so no worries (now I hope he gets my legs and not DH chicken legs)
His enormous backside that is shared by his sister and mother. And the "crazy" that runs in the family that he has thankfully escaped.
It's not so much that DH has bad features, but some of mine are better. Like I have olive skin and he's sort of pasty (except in the summer), so I hope they get mine. And I hope they get my teeth because the dentist said they're more straight than people who have had braces, and DH has had braces.
I hope they don't get my German nose, though. It fits me--it's not big or nobby, but it wouldn't suit just anyone.
I really hope our child doesn't get DH's eyebrows, especially if it is a girl. He has a pretty bad unibrow.
But, at the same time, I really hope the baby gets his blue eyes!

I really hope that baby doesn't get my teeth!
And I hope that he/she also avoids my FIL's (and DH's if he didn't workout) fat belly. He looks pregnant all the time.
I was born with an underbite and my DH has a strong chin. I'm a little afraid of what that combination may bring and the amount of money we may have to spend on this child's orthodontist.
I also don't care much for his siblings behavior, especially "the red head" so even though I don't think it's a bad feature at all I would prefer if our baby is not a red head.
Soon to celebrate the day we met, even if the day before marks when we said goodbye.
My DH has an ENORMOUS nose, like I'm amazed he can stand up straight. It looks like Lois Griffin -- like a giant sideways triangle on the front of his face.
I have an enormous ass. And NOOOOO metabolism. I hope our kid gets his ass and metabolism and my nose and chin lol. (DH has no chin....his face disappears into his neck)
Your kid is going to come out yelling "Petaaaaaaa"
My husband's toes! Ugh! They're soooo long, like fingers: he calls them 'tree-climbin' toes'! Yak! And, given that my FILs look exactly like DHs, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this particular trait is heritable...scary, esp. for a girl! They can inherit anything else from him, just not the toooooooooes! Pleaaaaase!
I really hope our baby doesn't inherit:
DH's narcolepsy!
My (mild) psoriasis!
Unfortunately, both can be hereditary...
In the looks department, I don't think either of us have terribly odd parts that we're too worried about passing on!! Just the medical stuff for us!!
It's the combos that could be interesting. I'm tall, but short-waisted. He's tall-ish, but long-waisted. Facial features too. Some combos = great. Some = uh, unique? I'm hoping the kid manages to average things out...
But I'm sure as mom I'll blind to it all, which is just fine with me.
ooooh i like this game...
i don't want my baby to inherit the flat, wide a$$ from my mil or my dh's weak stomach.
i also hope my kids don't get my cavity prone teeth.
I hope mine don't inherit DH's feet. Short, stubby, and they really don't look like a person would be able to balance properly on them. Granted, I dont have the best feet either, but if I had to choose, I'd have to say mine. Maybe the gene pool for feet will decide to take a dive and grab my mom's feet - long and lean and basically perfect.
I hope the baby gets DH's thick, dark hair. Mine's plain old boring brown. However, we both have redheads in our family, so maybe that'll show up.
I seriously hope our daughter inherits my teeth and feet. ?DH's family has really bad/expensive teeth. ?One of his cousins had to have all but 6 of hers pulled when she was in high school and then had to wait until she was 19 and the orthodontist decided she could have implants. ?Both he and his sister had massively crooked teeth and wore braces for years. ?DH still has a permanent retainer built in to the back of his teeth (I don't know what it's actually called).
DH's feet are just ugly. ?And his pinky toenail creeps me out because it's almost non existant. ?
My family all have naturally straight teeth and my feet are one of my favorite features. ??
Oh, I don't want the baby to get my negative attitude. DH is much more positive. Although, I usually think I am being "realistic."
My head is really round and DH's head is really long (kind of like Burt and Ernie -- me being Ernie). We are hoping the baby inherits a combination and ends up with a perfect head.
I hope my baby doesn't get my husband's allergies and his pain-in-the-butt pickiness about food. I kind of think the latter isn't inherited though, my husband is so picky because he was allowed to be. Anyway, that's a rant in itself.
I hope that any girl children we have in the future get my husband's hairyness gene and not mine. I'm super hairy and spend lots of time and money removing hair from various area of my body while my husband has moderately hairy legs and not much at all on his arms or chest. I know it is inherited because my Dad, brother and sister are all super hairy too and my poor little 4 year-old niece is already kind of hairy.
