[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the dads who are smug about their wives' natural childbirths.  Or their breastfeeding.  Smug by proxy.[/quote]

I really try to get him to put a sock in it but I can not control him, sorry! He's that way about anything - our discipline approach, our kid's latest developmental achievement, how many hours I labored, anything! He's just really excited about our latest discoveries in the adventures of parenthood and expresses it in a way that can come off as smug; [b]he means it as "Oh look as this cool thing I just found!"[/b] but it can sound like "Look how great we are!" Sorry ladies - I can't shut up the smug hubs. When I give you that panicked, apologetic look - believe that I am more mortified than you. [/quote]

I can totally relate! My dh has told so many people lately that our toddler son loves feta cheese. DH is just surprised is all. It's just that dh thinks big chunks of plain feta have a very strong flavor so it's surprising that our VERY frustratingly picky eater likes it. But recently I think one relative heard him say this more than once, and had a kind of "oh big deal" response. Lol...I do the apologetic look a lot too :)

Also, when people say things like "oh your son is walking so well now," dh will elaborate with a very proud "oh yes, he's also climbing stairs! and can climb into the chairs!...." etc. I'm more like "yes, he's walking well now, and god help me he's climbing now too so it's all downhill from here."
