..for getting offended at my in-laws referring to my son as 'heavy' yesterday?

[americantrish]

..because his cousin (who is 3) is only like between 26 and 28lbs.. and ds is 2 3/4 and is 32lbs. (ds is 3"3', a good 2 inches taller than his cousin.) no one made a peep about ds's weight until his cousin came around to dh's mum's and then it was like 'oh calvin, i didnt realise how HEAVY you were' or 'ohh! you're a heavy boy!'

(by the 3rd, HEAVY comment, i finally remarked he is a good height/weight for his age and the HV has NO concerns as he's recently been height/weight checked.)

(that shut them up.)

i was about to burst beneath my skin!!!

i dont think it would have bothered me so much if the parties involved in the comments had no prior knowledge that weight comments (about me or my son!) bother me. i have decided i will not stand for those comments again. it's caused me enough grief and if i have to give personal reasons as to why these comments bother me so, i will.

Gosh, my son is truly huge in comparison to your kids (all absolutely beautiful btw!!).

Look on my profile.

DS1 on the right is 5
DS2 in the middle was not yet two when this pic was taken.

Dejags - your son is huge because he's 5 . They are both absolutely gorgeous.

My final word on the subject (for now at least) is that my ds is 18months, his clothes which are 18 - 24 months fit him length-wise but are too big around the waist. Surely this says, that, despite looking like a bit of a chunk, he is actually quite skinny?

cheers Squonk

DS2 is currently in 3-4 year clothes and is 2yrs6m. He is tall though - I think just under a 1m at 24 months.

I am not at all stressed about his weight. He eats well - doesn't eat rubbish and get plenty of exercise.

He is lovely to cuddle too

Tundra at it again - resurrecting very very old threads. @mnhq can you pls look into this? Happened last week too with a different poster.

For the love of God stop reviving ZOMBIE threads. That's 3 or 4 you've revived from 2007 in the last 10 minutes!

Fuck’s sake! I just spent ages converting the OPs numbers into metric and looking up height weight centiles for reassurance.

Now I see the child is 17!!!
