I always just respond with agreeing with them, and telling them how much I love her chunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203770 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 18:55:46 +0000 Clementine 203770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my son is like 90th percentile in weight and height so he's def bigger than most babies. It's so annoying when people state the obvious that he's a big boy. DUH, I know that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203647 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:10:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 203647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I couldn't agree more... Just leave your issues at the door. My babies don't need to take them on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203634 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:58:55 +0000 archivedbee 203634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLantern: my squid friend does not have kids .... she has a nephew who she also complains about/criticizes =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203626 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:48:34 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 203626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious...the people who make these comments, do they have children of their own? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203624 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:48:05 +0000 Andrea 203624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are so rude, wow. I haven't had any rude comments yet. Just dopey ones where people think she is a boy dressed in all pink. That was only when she was a baby though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203608 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:40:49 +0000 archivedbee 203608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is annoying. People like that are just angry at the world and have nothing better to do but pick on innocent beautiful babies. How sad ! I have a "squid" friend (term taken from one of the Bridget Jone's Diary movies) that had to point out to me that my baby has a double chin (please), short eyelashes (which he doesn't !), and other physical flaws. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203601 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:36:00 +0000 banana 203601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH. Some people are so RUDE! Once a woman at church came up to me and said "Why are your son's eyes so small?" :( Ok, they're a little small but not THAT small. Anyway how would i answer a question like that anyway??? Uhhh, cause he was born that way??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203591 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:26:17 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 203591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been getting comments like 'you are busy' and 'you didn't waste any time, did you?'... So annoying! so what if my kids are 16 mo apart? i'm not asking YOU to look after them, lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203547 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:51:17 +0000 Honeybee 203547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate people who make comments about babies' weight; way to instill a complex from early on!</p> <p>People always mistake DD for a boy and DS for a girl, but I don't mind that so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203542 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:48:17 +0000 MegWag 203542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So annoying! It's not quite the same, but an anonymous troll on my blog commented on a cute pic I posted of my son saying "Is that baby ill?" I wanted to punch someone... lucky for them the internet was protecting them... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203539 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:47:36 +0000 MsLipGloss 203539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lags: Hasn't she ever heard of the phrase cephalocaudal . . . babies heads grow more than their bodies from birth to around 5 months. And seriously, when is 7 pounds *big* for 7 weeks? *lesigh*</p> <p>@MamaMoose: I have no idea! At this point (30 weeks), I am starting to think *pregnancy brain* has little to do with the population that is actually pregnant, and much more to do with the instant mental impairment that occurs whenever someone comes within a 10 yard radius of a pregnant woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203533 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:42:56 +0000 ladyfingers 203533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend says people are constantly talking about how fat her baby girl is and how chunky her thighs are and how "she sure likes to eat." Dude, she's 1 year old! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203523 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:36:43 +0000 autumnlove 203523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone asked me if my Dr was ok with my LO's weight cause she looked a little thick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203521 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:35:56 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 203521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh the nerve of some people! It would take me so much to not make a snarky comment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203520 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:32:44 +0000 MamaMoose 203520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WHY do people think it's OK to say whatever pops in their head when it comes to pregnancy and babies?!! Good for you for laughing off the crazy lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awkward-rude-etc-comments-about-your-lo-from-strangers#post-203516 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:29:51 +0000 LAGS 203516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So today the girlfriend and I went grocery shopping. A woman stopped to check her out and asked how old. When I told her 7 weeks, she gasped and said "But her head, it's so big!" Then asked how much she weighed when she was born. When I told her 7lbs, again... shocked, she marveled at how big she was and told me how big she has gotten....</p> <p>It took everything I had not to laugh at her. I'm so used to the little peanut comments. But honestly... people are so ridiculous!!</p> <p>What awkward rude moments have you had with strangers? </p>
