[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that this should be a lesson. You're a new mom, everything is a competition and anything that unconsciously strikes a nerve with your own insecurities is an affront. But your neighbor was marvelling at a new baby, and using the word tiny is not an insult. When you have an 18 month old, you too will find every newborn tiny, especially ones that are on the smaller side! Responding to the word tiny by insulting their child as "ridiculous" was unnecessary and unkind. Kids come in all shapes and sizes, and it's not a competition, which the parent of a small child should appreciate every bit as much as the parent of a large child. [/quote] This. Oh so this. Every time I see a newborn now, I'm amazed at how tiny they are - I have a 3 year old. I can't even tell anymore if it is a big or little one. You are just being an over sensitive new mom. [/quote]
