It doesn't happen often, but I truly get annoyed when people say things when they don't know us or our background. People need to think before they speak.
We were at the mall playground playing today. A little boy started to play with Kiersten and I asked his mother how old he was which she replied he was 10mths old. Then she asked me how old Kiersten was and I told her 11 1/2mths old. To which she replied that 'we (she and her friend) notice your daughter and she is just so tiny.'
Memorial Weekend 2004 my family and I went to Mackinac Island for the day. There was this little playground area we let Peter play on. Needless to say, the grandmother of this little girl said your son is so small.
First, I am petite at 5 feet tall and I weigh 100lbs right now (working on losing 4lbs to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight-I've lost 18lbs since Jan!!!!). Chances are my children might be more petite, but we do have tall genes on both sides of our families. My youngest brother is 5 feet 11 3/4inches(like dad) and I just happen to be 5 feet(like mom).
Second, my children are perfect they way they are and they are not tiny. I do not judge other children at all and at most I just ask how old they are. I don't think that people mean to say it in a rude way, but I think its pretty inappropriate. Sometimes, I wonder how people want me to respond to it b/c I just bite my tongue and leave the situation. Next time I might not be so nice ( :
