Baby Shaming is a thing

maybe they should be more worried about their own enormous baby?

 

I'm 5'-6" tall and my wife is 4'-11" tall. We have 5 kids. All of them were tiny babies. We heard all about how much bigger everyone else's kids were. It bugged us with the first 2. After that, we knew the score and it didn't matter what other people said.

I don't care how small your kids are. If they are active and alert to the world around them, they're doing alright.

 

"Has become"?

Where have you been? People have been insensitive, callous and even outright cruel since Adam dated Eve.

Important to note that in this scenario the majority of these comments are likely born of genuine concern.

 

We live in an age where it’s incredibly easy to forget we’re still people talking to people when we post things online, and subsequently lose our sense of shame and courtesy all at once while we take easy pot shots at strangers. At the same time, folks naturally want to jump to the defense of the defenseless, and barring incredibly unusual circumstances babies are generally pretty defenseless, which makes it very hard to see the line between trying to solve a real problem and just kind of being a dick.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, babies are weird gross people-larvae who can’t even hold a meaningful conversation, and people should definitely be ashamed of them.

Like, ew.

As in pretty much any deviant behavior, the numbers of people who participate in said behavior do not warrant an "Us". It's a "them" thing. What is wrong with "them". As to that? Who can say?

They don't think like the rest of us clearly.

 

My normal reaction when people say something stupid or unintelligible - just nod, smile, and walk away.

 

That's one of the best Doctor Shows ever on the tube!

 

Our pediatrician actually told us once that our son was too thin. The truth is he takes after me and has almost no body fat, despite the fact that he ate a lot. Guess what, doc? Some kids are just built that way. We have since changed to a different doctor.

 

Mellowinman is now a... baby advocate?

BREAKING NEWS: MELLOWINMAN ORDERS RECUT OF CLASSIC FILM TO OMIT NOTORIOUS BABY-HATING SEQUENCE!

 

I often wonder what the hell is wrong with people that would do things like this.
Funny thing about political correctness, cordiality/politeness/consideration; Many people don't find value in these qualities...until they've been slighted...sad.

 

Hey, pal, there ARE no liberal babies! Babies are about as me-first as you can get!

 

This sort of interference in how people raise their children is nothing new. Part of it is born out of genuine concern but it's mostly because people can't jyst mind their own damn business.
@mellowinman all you can do for your co-workers is advise them that unless the comments are coming from a paediatric specialist they should be ignored.
Feel free to slap the culprits about a bit yourself tho.
