[quote=Anonymous]I think people are being oversensitive. People will often casually compliment kids, and it’s nothing more than routine chit chat without really thinking. “My how he has grown!” “she is getting so tall!” “he looks just like his dad!” “Such pretty green eyes!” “What a big boy! Future linebacker on your hands har har!” or whatever. It is meant as a mundane chat and nothing more. I was adopted as a newborn, and more than one acquaintance (who did not know I was adopted) said things like “oh I can sure see the resemblance with the Johnson side!” “she really takes after her dad” or similar blah blah. There was definitely no resemblance lol. We’d just laugh about it later. I have boy/girl twins and got “are they identical? for years. Also “you’ve sure got your hands full!!”. It was annoying, but the intention was good and I took it that way. [/quote]
