[quote=Anonymous]This is a crazy thread.  I'm happy when people tell me to cherish the moments.  Always good to have a reminder when in the slog of dealing with my 15 month old.  The time really is so precious and it's so easy to lose sight of the fact in the sleepless nights, relentless vigilance required to make sure my toddler doesn't kill herself accidentally. Not offensive at all.

I'm wondering if this is an age thing not a new mom/experienced mom since I am closer in age to "older moms" than new moms.

In any case the only time I've really bristled was when an older mom tried to tell me that i had an "easy" baby. I was ready to kill her.  (There were many ways my baby was not easy although I know it could have been/could be worse.) Oh yes and how if I responded to her crying I was teaching her to cry to get what she wants - hello my 6 month old is not speaking yet of course she cries to make her needs known.

Still gritted my teeth and said nothing because she is a good soul who tries to be supportive and helpful. [/quote]
