I know there has to be one thing that drives everybody bonkers to hear.

My biggest pet peeve as far as hearing about my child is when people tell me "aw! She's so little!" or they don't believe me when I tell them how old she is. I don't get it so much anymore but I was getting it EVERYWHERE we went. They acted as if I didn't feed her or something or she was unhealthy. Drove me crazy?

What drives you crazy about other people and your child? Anything that they say or do? Please share!

"He's sure not missing any meals"

"He looks just like his daddy". Yeah, I know, but I get sooo tired of hearing it.

I get both of those and freaking HATE it.
but, I totally disagree with Holden looking like Thomas- I don't think so at all.

my absolute biggest pet peeve:
"You're gonna be a linebacker when you grow up!!"
what?? because he's a big baby it automatically means he's going to be a huge adult who plays football? stfu.

I don't hate anyone's comments, but we get that she looks like daddy A LOT! I'd like her to look like me a LITTLE but she doesn't! Oh, and her eyes... everyone always asks where she gets her eyes since Derek and I both have very dark brown eyes and she has hazel-ish. We get the little comment a lot too, Michelle. Isla can wear 12 mos and 18 mos... I just called my best friend to ask her what size her son was wearing (she had him 5 days before Isla) and she said 3T... 3 freaking T!

Not fully baby related but I HATE when Kory is taking care of Easton and people refer to it as daddy "babysitting." Ummm no, it's his child. He has just as much of an obligation to take care of him as I do, it's not babysitting you idiots. DH gets really mad about this too.

Amirah has a strawberry mark under her left eye. I HATE it when people ask "Oh, what happened to her face?" There is a just a certain tone in their voice that irks me. It's almost like they are expecting me to say, "oh, she wouldn't stop crying so I punched her" or something like that (of course, I would never even think about doing that!!) It just really bothers me.....

Dominc has a red birthmark on his hand and people are always saying "What happened to your poor little hand?" Drives me nuts

I also hate the daddy comments too. Personally I don't think he looks THAT much like SO, but people (especially the IL's) are always saying "he's ALL daddy!"

Ari had some strawberries on her face, a hemangioma on her finger, one under her arm, one on her back, and a big one behind her ear. We got comments like that too. But at 4 years old, you can't even notice them anymore as they have seemed to shrink in size (the one on her finger disappeared completely). Some people just don't know how insensitive their comments are.

I hate when people stare at Emma when she has a helmet on like she is some kind of alien. Older people do it the most and it really makes me mad. We were in a waiting room for me to give blood about a month ago and this older couple were just staring at her with their mouths open for like 20 minutes. I don't mind when people ask me why she wears it so i wish more people would.

ditto! i can't stand when they touch his hand and his face, usually i pull him away. most of the time when i see their hand coming out i grab his hand and hold it. don't they realize that babies put everything in their mouth and i have NO idea where your hand has been!!!

I CANNOT stand when people tell me I need to put a stop to a behavior or her waking at night. I've actually told a few people lately to mind there business or that their opinion isnt welcome. I used to just ignore it but just can't do it anymore!
