[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are in the thick of postpartum misery, don't say it. But with toddlers, if they had a really hard day, maybe say it! What's much more helpful to me (as a mom who hates the baby/toddler stage) is to hear moms of older kids say encouraging things about how it gets better. Please please tell me about how they don't need help wiping their bums one day and don't want to hang out with Mom and Dad.[/quote] +1. I also like getting this kind of perspective from parents of older kids sometimes, so I think it can be a helpful thing in some situations if done in an empathetic, non-dismissive way.[/quote]
