Just people who use "big babies" as the reason they could go in a forward facing car seat at 3m, or have McDonald's from 2m or somesuch bollocks.

It's always said in such simperingly yuck-making tones that it riles me.

You have to start syringing mulched pie into his mouth straight away, or I shall call the Social Worker, for your own good.

Apparently people who simper about their big babies do.

Either that or it's just bluff for "I have a bruiser and I'll do whatever the hell I like".

(I had pretty big babies, btw - but I never simper about it).

Ha! I overheard two doting parents of very tiny Precious First Born (tm, twiglett) simpering at the shop assistant in chi-chi local baby shop, saying 'well, she's only three months, but she's very big for her age', and I suddenly had a hideous red flush of shame realising I used to say crap like that all the time!

controlfreakyandroses · 12/02/2007 23:43

no simpering = good. dont start now.

I really ought to stay off weaning threads.

Aloha, I would love to video new parents of PFBs and show it back to them when they're three kids in.

That would be as cruel as showing a 6 year old a video of himself at 18 months old, playing with his own poo.

"He'd never have waited till six months. He was two months old when he dashed into the kitchen, hurled some fishfingers under the grill, then downed them with ketchup and slept through. My HV said he was hungry cos he's a big boy "

ROFL at the idea of a PFB being likened to poo.

One of my post ds1 friends told me, when our babies were 9 weeks (so her son was gestationally newborn!) that he had tried to say "I love you Mummy" that morning.

She wasn't joking. I actually felt my face freeze.

colditz · 12/02/2007 23:48

The only answer to that is "Oh. Right."

colditz · 12/02/2007 23:49

Ha, I am in a funny mood today

controlfreakyandroses · 12/02/2007 23:50

did you drop her like a hot sausage roll?? anyone else remeber when you came round from postnatal hormonal rage and had to drop 50% of your new baby friends??

colditz · 12/02/2007 23:52

Her ds now goes to playschool with mine, and she lives around the corner, but we have both had another baby since then. Which makes all the difference.

and really, it was no stranger than my insistance on bleaching door handles.

"advanced" is the word that raises my hackles.

hate hate hate hearing a child described as "advanced". Maybe because it's also usually accompanied by a .
