Stupid comments!

Thanks Guys you made me feel better!!
I don't know what people think!
Dana is 7.5 kgs at 13 months...she was sick, infections after infections and maybe that's why she wasn't eating well, We did all tests that the Dr could think about and she is healthy, very happy child, beautiful and even has a strong temper sometimes!!
I stopped looking at the percentil chart long time ago, before I went mad!!!
A big hug for all of you!

I thought I was the only one my LG is 8months & weighs 6.7kg. the comments

next time any nasty comment comes I'll respond that: "have you seen the stats on childhood obesity!"

Loris, i feel your pain!! I got the best saying yesterday on email, and believe me, I plan on using it very soon...

Dear Mother-in-law,
Please do not tell me how to raise my children. I am married to one of yours, and believe me, there is room for improvement.

I think this was specially written for you today...

I hate it!

Even had a woman come to me telling me to change M's milk because it is not nutritional enough for her. Why do people interfere, i dont tell them what to do so why tell me?!
Just ignore them!

Oh, I totally understand. I used to get the comments all the time and I still get them. My son is 3 years 3 months old already and he wears a size 18-24 months. People are always commenting on his size. My darling MIL last even had the audacity to go and compare DH's white card to my son's and because DS is smaller than what DH was at that age she told us that we are under feeding him, even though he eats more than all his friends that are bigger than him...

When he was younger the comments got to be too much for me and I blogged about it - here is the blog extract -
I love my son and I love him just the way that he is. In my eyes he is perfect even when he is having an off day or an off moment. Yes, I am aware that he has moments and that they need to be dealt with, I don't think that he is always an Angel and I would not ignore him pouring grape juice over anyone (as I recently read about on a travel forum) or doing anything like that, in fact I am usually very aware of his behaviour and do try and curve unruly behaviour before it can occur, but this is not what my moan about.

My moan is the fact that there are other mom's out there that feel that it is their responsibilty to point out to me how small, or diddy as they put it, James is. Yes, I am aware that James is small for his age. Yes, I am very aware that when I dress him in the morning that most of his clothes are 6-12 months. Yes, I am aware that he only weighs 21 lbs (or 9.6kgs) and that he is 23 months old. Yes, I am aware that he still wears size 4 feet. Yes, I am aware that he is only on the second centile in his red book. And yes, I am aware that he was a big newborn at 8lbs (3.63kgs).

But I am also aware that he is happy and healthy. And I am also aware that the pediatrician thinks that there is nothing wrong with James, she thinks that he was born big and is growing into his natural size. And yes, I am also aware that Gareth is 6ft 1 and only weighs about 159lbs (or 72kgs) and that my sister (who is only about 5ft on a good day in very high heels) only weighs about 99lbs (45kgs) and thats when she is having a fat day and that my grandfather is 6ft something and weighs less than Gareth, so yes, it is in James' genes to be small.

So next time a mom says to me "Your son is so cute, how old is he?" And I say "23 months" and they go "His um, well, um, very diddy, isn't he?", please beware that I am aware and that I can't change it and love him as he is and I would prefer you to focus on your own child and leave mine alone...... because one day I am not going to smile and say "yes, I know", I am instead going to loose it, and then its not going to be such a pretty picture, because trust me I don't loose it often but when I do there is usually the need for health professionals and lots of medication, and really I don't feel like going through that again. And the only reason that I feel that I need to moan about this is not because its been a handful of moms that have commented on this, but its about every second new mother that I meet, so basically I get told this at least 2-3 times a week, times that by 52 weeks in a year for almost 1.5 years and see how you feel.

I know my child is small and all but I don't need to hear it everyday! Specially from my in laws...come on!
Just now My brother in law's wife was saying she looks like the Bratz, because she is so small and with all that hair she looks like them, or the call her a cat and stuff like that. I seriously get ofended, I love my child she is the most beautiful little girl ever...I just don't get why people can't keep their comments to themselfs!
