Some kids are quicker at something then the other. I never really cared about my children being sooner or later at doing something.
As long as they were fine, I was happy.
But for some reason some other parents do seem to think it's a competition. That's ok if they want to compare their children with others. But respect that I'm not like that and leave my kids out of the competition. They'll develop in their own time.
Some silly woman told me when my 1rst child was almost a year.
Isn't he walking yet? Isn't he doing this yet or that. My kids was already doing that on his age.....
I was like:
He'll start walking in his own time. No worries, before he's 18 years old he'll have learned how to walk, talk, being fully potty trained and all the rest.
It's a healthy boy, so I'm not worried at all.
She totally didn't got it that this was a nice way of saying: Fuck off!!!
(I barely knew this woman)
She continued with saying stuff like I should be worried about it. Something might be wrong with him. and bla bla bla
Me more firmly:
He isn't 1 yet. I really am not going to be worried at all at this moment.
