I'm so glad I came across this post. I'm guilty of saying this! I don't (yet) have any children but my Sister just had her first 7 months ago. I visit them at least once a week and I have commented on numerous times that she is such a 'good' baby. She's 'easy' to look after. She's no 'trouble'. Things like that. My Sister has only said that 'she has her moments'. But now I feel bad that I've said those things. Don't get me wrong I have told my Sister many times that she is a wonderful Mum and that she does such a great job. It's just that I never realised that she is 'in-tune' with her DD. It's really made me see that my Sister is FANTASTIC! I'll try never to use those comments again....Thanks girls.
