I am the oversensitive PP.  My children were about 6 pounds when referred to as small - so they were certainly small.  We had had various health concerns; they had been out of the NICU for about 2 oe 3 days.   I think it would have been nicer to say, "Wow, they are beautiful! They look so healthy!  They look like their brother!"  Things like that.  I don't think I'm at all oversensitve in general.  [/quote]

But do you get how sometimes words are just words and people aren't saying things to be hurtful?  Tiny is a description and there's no way around it, your babies were tiny.[/quote]

I completely get that, and I don't think she was trying to be hurtful at all.

But it is like the people who point out that someone else's 16 month old isn't walking, "Wow!  Look your son is sitting there - my Bobby was all over the place at that age!"

I don't think many people TRY to be rude, but I don't think people should have an awareness of what comes out of their mouths.

We all fail at this sometimes, but some people just walk around with no awareness for others' feelings!   [/quote]
