Yeeeah, whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-553954 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 12:47:13 +0000 birdofafeather 553954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, depends on who it is. Our baby has been pretty easy so far and I know it's tougher for others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-553005 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 20:36:00 +0000 Lindsay05 553005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is such a hard conversation.

It's a sensitive subject and I never initiate a conversation about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552430 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:03:03 +0000 littlek 552430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell the truth.. but I don't try and go on and on too much... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552429 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:01:30 +0000 heffalump 552429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell the truth but then say something like, "oh, I'm sure she'll start teething soon though......" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552395 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:42:47 +0000 autumnlove 552395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just tell the truth but I don't go on and on about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552378 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:32:03 +0000 sarac 552378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm always honest, but I make sure to note that my daughter is generally a pretty easy child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552362 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:23:49 +0000 Mrsbells 552362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just tell the truth, I dont have a super easy baby so its no big deal for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552277 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:48:12 +0000 Maysprout 552277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I used to live I felt like mommies were super competitive and so I just lied, otherwise I felt like daggers were being sent through my soul.</p> <p>We moved when LO was a year and I'm much more comfortable with the mommies around here. We can talk about all the good and bad and brag and commiserate and there's not that competitive, 'I'm going to kill you with my eyes' vibe, so luckily I don't feel the need to lie anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-a-friend-asks-you-how-your-lo-is-doing#post-552257 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:38:57 +0000 Lindsay05 552257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you lie to make them feel better?</p> <p>I have a few close friends with LO's the same age as DD and they have been having some teething issues and sleeping problems. I'll admit, our LO is pretty easy to handle and we haven't had any major problems but when my friends ask how she is is sleeping, teething, etc. I tend to lie a little and say she has been fussier than normal. Which isn't a COMPLETE lie, but she really isn't much harder to handle, and still STTN. For some reason I feel really guilty when my LO is doing so well, but I should feel proud as a parent shouldn't I?</p> <p>What do you do? Do you answer them honestly or do you try and make them feel a little better and not 'brag' about your LO?</p> <p>ETA: I'm going to add that it wasn't always easy, we had our major BF issues for the first 3 months. </p>
