Good job nursing and reading to baby...I think that's about it. I get a lot of negatives. :( But I think it's in the form of strong 'advice'. We started out as 'super laid back' but not so much since having LO. So by comparison...not that.. but she is a very happy baby. After our birthday party, someone told me that we were excellent parents. That was nice to hear for a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53263 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:23:47 +0000 cyndistar3 53263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get compliments on how well her manners are as well as how we don't let her get away with things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53250 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:11:28 +0000 heffalump 53250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People tell me my LO is very loved. I'm constantly giving her smooches :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53199 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:42:45 +0000 mrbee 53199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyLove: Haha I don't get any compliments either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53198 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:40:20 +0000 Rubies 53198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The compliment I'm told is that I did a great job handling LO when she went through her colicky phase. It was a rough 3-4 months but people said that they could see how well LO responded to me (even though I wanted to pull my hair out!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53153 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:34:24 +0000 lemondrop 53153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about this post a little while ago, it is a great one because we do beat ourselves up so much over how we could be better parents, its nice for once to think about the good things we do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53115 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:31:31 +0000 Mrs. Bee 53115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>people say that i always take charlie on the best adventures (since i blog about them). i think that's because i love trying to do something new every weekend. we haven't gone out as much with olive and the cold weather, but i hope to resume our adventures when it warms up a little bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53108 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:17:09 +0000 BabyLove 53108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really haven't gotten any compliments! Nothing specific at lesat. Just, "you're doing a good job". Wth, we need more compliments! Haha.</p> <p>I get a lot of people that commend me for continuing to nurse our LO. It's mostly by those that have either tried to nurse and didn't last long. Or people who did nurse and are HUGE advocates for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53094 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:42:02 +0000 lemondrop 53094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Exactly! It has only been a week, but we've been hearing the same thing, that we are very relaxed and that it has rubbed off on our baby. I just think we are incredibly lucky to have such a good boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-get-complimented-on-as-a-parent#post-53012 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:49:17 +0000 Maysprout 53012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I tend to focus on what we're not doing exactly right and forget that we've gotten a lot of compliments. What do you get complimented most as a new parent?</p> <p>So far our most frequent is how relaxed we've stayed and that it seems to have rubbed off on our laid back, happy baby (though I think she was born laid back and that's let us stay laid back). </p>
