[quote=Anonymous]OP, I mean this in the kindest possible way: given the intensity of your emotions surrounding your child's size, you may want to consider talking to a professional about this issue. I'm not minimizing what you went through during your pregnancy and premie birth, but if you can't hear the word tiny without feeling the need to lash out, about a child no less, then you are going to have a long, hard road of parenting. You may have a bit of postpartum or some specific anxieties related to your difficult pregnancy, and a good therapist can probably help you focus on the positive outcome rather than the stresses along the way. And btw one of the best rules of parenting is to own up to your mistakes so that you don't repeat them. Your followup is full of justifications for why you didn't intend any malice toward the neighbor's child. But you never really acknowledge that whatever you may (or may not) have intended, your words weren't kind or appropriate.[/quote]
