My daughter is very small for 13 months. I guess I'm not sure why someone saying your child is small is deemed as "rude". People are constantly commenting on my daughter being small; it doesn't phase me at all. She is my lil baby girl! Key word lil.

The way she screamed to call her friend over made it sound like a freak show. Had she said "look how cute she is" would be totallydifferent

Some people just have no tact.

I once had a woman ask if she could take a photo of Howell because he was so big. Her son was the same age and much smaller. Her DH would never believe her without a pic. I said no. He's a baby, not a circus act. I was quite irritated. Mothers should understand that every mom worries about their LO's sizes.

She probably didn't mean to be rude. And she probably called her friend over because she thought she was cute.

Yeah, what is up with strangers asking to take pictures of babies? "Aww, he's so cute. I need to get a picture", as they whip out their phone. Umm, no.

W is not even on the charts for height, so we get a lot of comments too. We went to H's company picnic today, and a lady with an almost 14 month old asked me if the Dr was concerned about his size, because he was considerably smaller, but chunkier, than her tall and lean baby... Uh no. Babies come in all different shapes and sizes, just like we do. Freaking idiot.

people are just obsessed with saying how big and small babies are. i think if they legit thought your LO had an issue or something, they wouldn't have called their friend over to look. i'm hoping they just thought your lo was a cutie!

This is true. It reminds me of when ds had to wear a heart monitor, and people made comments about him having his own pager. When I would respond that it was a heart monitor, it was obvious that they immediately regretted their comments.

Mina usually gets comments about her size. It doesn't bother me because in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.

Woah.

Really??

fastcarsandfreedom3319 · September 2013

I am totally lost.

Megispreg · September 2013

Wow. I think it's safe to say that @JerseyBride11 overreacts to things.

So ominous. Godspeed, fellow bumperoni.

jodegaard · September 2013

She never answered my question as to why she goes to her daughter's daycare everyday at lunch time. Oh well.

jodegaard · September 2013

I just had to explain to DH what GBCB meant.

NeneCakies · September 2013

Geez, who peed in her microwaved milk today? Wow. >-)

jodegaard · September 2013

He's all up on the dramz now.

jodegaard · September 2013

She needs to...

jodegaard · September 2013

The daycare post wasn't completely overreacting.

1. She was making her daily visit at lunchtime and noticed her daughter's bottle in the microwave.

2. It's against the daycare's policy to nuke any milk (as it should be) and she was quite upset about it.

3. She went and talked to the director. And the director cleared everything up with the teachers.

4. Something about crying in the car about it.

Jode has most of it, but the whole crying thing and never knowing if she could ever trust them again seemed a bit off to me.

That and how she offhandedly mentions going to her LO's daycare to visit everyday at lunch. Being a former infant and toddler room teacher, I would be so annoyed.

Yeah, I'm on team "no nuking" here...and I probably would have cried too. I have working mom guilt real bad!

I get it. I would be the same way. But I would also know that I was overreacting.

Oh yeah! Self awareness is key for sure.

Exactly. And that's what was a little odd...she really didn't think she was overreacting, even when a few bumpies very nicely and respectfully suggested that she might be.

rp-chicago-mom · September 2013

This is what I miss for pretending to sleep all night? I think you ladies were fair. I even commiserated about my giant circus freak kid. Oh well, it's her loss...

Edited because that's what I get for picking on the other posters for typos.

Mrs. Rohde · September 2013

Whoa. That's.....ok. Well, good luck to her.

BluepointToasted · September 2013

Confession...I had no friggen idea what day today was. I saw this post and was super confused as to why everyone was commenting on a post from last September. I don't know what day I thought it was, but it most certainly was not September 22nd

bigbootyjudi · September 2013

Team Oblivious here.

But, I nuke G's bottles in the microwave and always have because I'm the shittiest mom ever.

jillybean7582 · September 2013

Man you spend your weekend studying and miss all the fun stuff.

I saw the daycare post but missed what this one was originally about before she changed it to a dramatic exit.

Anyone care to recap what she was so up in arms about this time?

jillybean7582 · September 2013

Wow that seems a bit excessive. DS is tiny and we get comments all the time. Especially when I set him down and he takes off running. I think it is comical most of the time since people think he is closer to 8 months than almost 13 months.

Someone's a sensitive little fella.

Oh wait is that insensitive to say little?

Good luck
