of the baby for the whole duration of every time we visit??
I visit a couple regularly. Their DIL and PFB GC (4months old) are there on every visit. I always head straight to baby as soon as I walk in and say hello, make a little fuss etc. all of the things you can say to a baby, comment on how well baby looks/is dressed/growing etc. I feel that is sufficient....
NO! Whole visit is constantly interrupted by ''oh look at what baby is doing!'' / ''Have you seen baby do this?'' Even when eating a meal, you are expected to get up to look at a particular expression or some dribble... If you do not over the top exaggerate on how amazing this is, you can feel the disapproving looks burning into your forehead honestly. This also applies to several of the same photographs taken over again.
Are my comments not enough or should I coo over this baby the whole visit and forget about the rest of the world and our pre PFB GC conversations?!
FWIW, I love children, have children and am currently pregnant myself so I am hardly a cow when it comes to babies/kids. But I certainly wont want my guests to feel this way when they visit me & there are other things in the world other than teething expressions and dribble....
