[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am certainly not "living for the drama", in fact, I let comments like "oh my gosh! He was soooooo early! How crazy!!! I would die if that happened to me" go without a though every day. Many people just don't know what comes out of their mouths. I was merely pointing out to op that her hurt feelings were valid, not that she was justified in bashing the other kid. Also, how does the fact that one preemie someone knows discount a preemie mom's valid and legitimate fears for her kids future? I know lots of kids with autism who are doing ok now. Guess that means those worried moms of autistic kids are nuts. Nice try, but if you are unable to empathize, there is simply no way to help you. [/quote]

You need help.  Seriously.  Now you're comparing preemies to kids with autism (and by the way, kids with autism don't get "cured", as you seem to suggest).  Her hurt feelings were not valid in this instance.  Saying someone's baby is "tiny" is not the same as saying something like, "Wow, you're baby looks like it's barely surviving, it's so small.  Are you feeding your baby?"  Now that would be incredibly insensitive.  Calling someone's baby eight-week old baby tiny is merely a statement of fact. The fact that OP lashed out at another person's child in response is indicative of her lack of perspective and immaturity, period. [/quote]
