I assume that for the most part things are going OK for you and that you are loving it, so if you get asked those questions and answered 'yeah, things are good/OK" and "yeah I am loving it' you wouldn't be lying, but you just aren't going into detail. Because I am sure that every single one of us does love it - even though we have some pretty *memorable* days when nothing goes the way we want it to and we just wish we could go back to bed and start the day over but I guess you learn to gauge when someone wants every detail and when they don't. I am a realist and I wont ever say "oh he's a great sleeper/eater" when I know he's not - if someones really wants to know I'll tell them LOL but if I can sense that they don't really want to know then I'm not going to give them the whole rundown.

I think its something that works both ways though when it comes to openess and honesty and The Code. I remember years ago when a woman I know said something about having to go to Tresillian with her first child later that month as he wasn't sleeping and I just said offhand that I never had to do anything like that with my two (I already had two and was pg with 3 at the time) and Oh Boy!! was I shot down in flames for having the audacity to mention that my children didn't keep me up half the night and I didn't even mean anything by it - I didnt' say it to rub her nose in it or be smug, it just an innocent offhand comment signalling that I had no experience of what she was going through so I learnt to keep my mouth shut pretty quickly and that she just wasn't interested in hearing anything good about parenting or about other mum's successes.
