[quote=Anonymous]Our baby was full term, but rather small, when he was born and I called him tiny and small and didn't much care if others did the same.  Now, he's well below the 50% mark for height and weight and people are constantly telling me how huge and tall he is.  I get that it's supposed to be a compliment akin to healthy, and I am not insulted, but it's weird.

I agree with the majority that "tiny" is meant as cute, adorable, etc.  and unless someone knows your extensive history of trying to get weight on them, it's not critical or insulting.  If that's the only thing the person can repeatedly say, well, then they need to work on their vocab.

I'm not a thick-skinned person, but somehow I am able to blow this stuff off or turn it back on the commenter.  What am I feeding him to make him so "big?" Fruit loops.  Or when he was little, "are you not feeding him at all?" Nope, not until he can fix it himself.  Just...eff that.

But to make a snarky comment about their kid's size when you are super sensitive about your own?  Not cool.[/quote]
