[quote=jindc][quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound condescending -- when you are pregnant vs. when you have a baby, you don't realize the reality of it  There are a lot of things you say you won't do or you will do.  Reality will be very different.[/quote]

Of course, but calling a baby "chubby" isn't something I have been around.  I don't comment on people's weight because I know I don't like it (thanks, mom!)....so it might be different. It might not be.  There are things I say I won't do like "use my stroller as a shopping cart at the farmers market" which isn't really serious!

But really, how do you know when your child picks up on the "chubby" stuff?  when s/he can talk?  This isn't sarcasm - If I call my baby chubby, and he can eventually talk and repeat it and calls another kid chubby, is that ok?

I have put a lot of thought into the overall issue of body image in case we had a girl, but I never realized how much other people do it to a kid that isn't theirs and whatnot.[/quote]
