[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd let it go.

I completely get the tiny comment being hurtful.

I had preemie twins (now 5).  One of my first friends to see them, was like "Oh wow, they are so small.  I don't know anything about small babies!  Mine were so big!"

It doesn't hurt my feelings at all now, but I do think about that when I see her sometimes.  [b]I chalk it up to bad social skills on her part [/b](she does however have tons of friends!)[/quote]

I'd chalk it up to oversensitivity on your (and the OP's) part.  [/quote]

Yeah, I have to agree.  I would probably say tiny too and it is not because I'm socially backwards socially nor think it would be perceived as insulting.  How else would you describe a very small baby? [b] Since when is using an accurate descriptive word wrong?[/b]  What is wrong is what you said about their child.

You really need to get over yourself and the size of your baby.[/quote]

Do you realize that context matters? When your DS comes home crying because he's teased in school for being 'tiny', make sure to tell him it's an accurate descriptor. Better yet, tell your DH that his penis is tiny - I'm sure he'll love that.[/quote]
