To be fuming at what she said about my child? **Title edited by MNHQ**

[Milkfreemoomum]

Well i know i'm not being unreasonable. But i'm just so angry. My oldest friend who i've known since i was little made a comment about my DS teeth in front of me, her mum and her DP. Her mum was saying how cute my DS was and how piercing his eyes are. My friend then pipes up and then well he has got teeth like a vampire though hasn't he, in front of him. He's only 3! What person makes nasty comments about a 3 year old!? Her mum and me both told her not to be nasty and she just laughed it off and said well i'm just saying he has pointy teeth.
I know she clearly is no friend of mine if she's going to say stuff like this about my son. I feel she was jealous of her mum saying nice things to my son as before her mum turned up she was saying how her mum doesn't bothered with her children. Still no excuse. I left soon after this comment. Please tell me this isn't normal behaviour?

I feel angry for you! I would not be seeing her again. What a nasty person. I’m sure your boy is perfect OP don’t listen to her.

@lljkk

OP is the one who wrote the blanket statement that commenting on personal appearance was upsetting. She declared this rule. Several other posters have made the same basic statement, mind. Nothing is safe to say

Seriously

I definitely think this is not a normal thing for a friend to say about your child. I would never say anything negative about a child's appearance, and would assume that someone who did this had some sort of underlying insecurity/jealousy/poor social understanding/social awkwardness. I think you should have said, that's not a very nice thing to say about my child. I wouldn't necessarily write of the friendship, but I would def call her out on the behaviour.

There was NO compliment.

I would be pissed off about that comment too

I cannot believe how nasty some of the people on this thread have been towards the poster. It is so sad that what used to be a helpful, considerate(mostly) forum for people to discuss issues and problems, has now attracted such antagonistic, unkind people.

I get why you are annoyed from that comment - your friend should be a bit more senstive.

Does she criticize a lot?
