So last night I was over my sister's house and her sis-in-law was there with the her little boy. She said oh he's so cute about my LO so today on FB I said oh you're son is so cute and her reply to me was 'thanks so is yours...I can't get over those ears haha '
The remark pissed me off! Am I overreacting and should just let it slide or should I say something back like 'ears?! what do you mean?' ... whenever someone says something about my LO's ears I get a lil defensive
Re: Baby Insult :(
I get offended whenever anyone says E is fat and usually I let it slide but it irks me to no end.
If someone said something about a specific body part though, I would probably ask what they meant by that.
DD has some "ears" too... I love them! I wouldn't really get defensive, because I think they are absolutely adorable. I might be a little irked by the "haha" though.
This exactly. I'd only get pissed if it was apparent that she meant it in a snarky way.

Yeah I wouldn't really care. I doubt she meant it in a mean way unless she is a giant b!tch. Some people think ears are cute. Just ignore her.
BTW, I love the name Joel!
I don't see anything weird about your DS's ears. I wonder if she doesn't mean anything by it?
How strange.
I can't imagine people deliberatly insulting a baby. When I see a chunky baby I love it- I always say they are so chubbalicious. Now I'm wondering if that makes moms mad?
OK I am looking at all of your babies and see no weird ears, lips, or fatness.
I just see cute babies with very normal looking ears, lips and delicious chubbiness.
I just don't see it.
It only bothers me when people act like they are shocked or amazed at how big Luke is. Is he big for a 6 month old? Sure. Does it warrant gasps and wide eyed looks? No. Chubbalicious is cute.
This. I don't see how she could possibly be insulting him so I think she meant it nice. He does'nt have an uncute feature on his body!!
I get this all the time. I actually had someone accuse me of lying about my son's age because of his size. I love my little chunky boy
OP your baby has beautiful ears!
my read shelf:
Seriously? That's just insane!
O.M.G. He is too cute!!
Ok, now that is rude!! I think your LO is cute, and I see no resemblance to a monkey!
What Are Your Thoughts on Tap Dancing Penguins?
I agree! I want to smooshy kiss his little face in! Not that I would ever kiss a stranger's baby, but if he were mine, I would have a hard time resisting!!!
I know! I just gave her this and walked away.
What's not to love about this:
my read shelf:
Seriously! He is going to be a ladykiller when he is older!
I'm dying! I lurve them too
my read shelf:
What a cutie!! Looks totally loveable to me!
Babies are supposed to be roly poly. I love a chunkalicious baby. LOVE!!!! I love big, fat thighs!!!
I understand where you are coming from and why it would bother you.
It bothers me when people say "OMG, why are they so tiny?!" Uh, maybe because they were born at 30 weeks gestation. And I happen to think they are quite chunky considering they were born a little over 3 lbs, thank you very much!
I usually just let it slide or just respond with "They are preemies" and leave it at that. But it does really bother me too. It feels like they are picking on my babies and this Mama Bear does NOT like that Now if this was coming from someone that I was close to, I would definately say something back to them. But anyone else I just let it go.
Thank you I love your siggy pic. Everytime I get the camera out to take pics of B laughing he clams up...lol
my read shelf:
Aw thanks. Yeah, DS normally does the same thing. In this picture, he was actually screaming though. lol
People used to comment how tiny DS was. He was a small baby- 6.3 and dropped to 5.6 when he came home. Now he is average sized, but in those early months I got a lot of comments about how small he was. Finally I just lightheartedly started saying, "Well he has a pretty small mama!" which shut people up (I am on the thin side).
I turned it around & said 'I kno I love them too! They're the cutest huh!!
I love chunky little babies too! And PP I love your LO's lips!!
