Talk me down ladies....

2mommiesinoh · October 2012

So I asked A how Ky had ben Sunday/last night since she was a bit off on Sunday morning. I received the following reply:

" She was awesome but idk what you feed her there but she is gaining a lot of weight..."

Indifferent

SERIOUSLY????!!!

The girl barely weights 25 lbs!! She is only in the 25ish% for her age v the 80% for height! She weighed neraly the same at her flu shot appointment as she did at her 2 year check up and they were 2 months apart!!!!

Someone talk me down before I lose my cool completely as I am pretty sure she is implying the kid is getting fat and it is my fault...

She's a jerk. She's a jerk. She's a jerk.

Breathe, D. She's being ridiculous.

Because THAT is not going to cause body image issues for Ky. Ann needs to watch what she says before I come help you lose your cool, ninja style.

Or what TMM said. Big Smile

Sounds to me like she knows what to say to push your buttons. :
Obviously a ridiculous complaint. Best to either ignore it or reply that you really hope she is gaining weight and not play in to the crazy.

You can tell A to come heft around my 16lb - 2 month old - if she's looking for some perspective ;-) lol

Sorry you're having to deal with this - I think you have the patience of a saint!! :-)

You're a better woman than I am

I would've already gone over the edge.

If I were in that situation, my snarky self likely would have thanked her for the offer to meal-plan, grocery shop, and do the cooking for everyone at my house!

But on a more serious note, I'd probably want to get to the bottom of the comment. If nothing else, it might be a good reminder/learning opportunity for her to understand that kids internalize and respond to those types of comments at a younger age that you might think.

Why it needs to be YOUR job to educate her on these things? I have no idea. As others have said, you have the patience of a saint.
