People really can say the stupidest things can't they? I hate it when people things to me like "hopefully the next one will be as good as your daughter". Ummm, I have a son too! Are you saying he's a bad child? Ok, so maybe he wasn't quite as placid as my DD or sleep quite as well during the day, but he's still GOOD!
I hate when people ask "is he/she a good baby?". There's no such thing as a BAD baby. That just seems like the stupidest question ever to me.
Deal your wrath! It is very insensitive to say that, or as happened to me, the opposite (Dd had terrible reflux, screamed 12hours a day). At the time I was too exhausted and petrified that baby #2 *was* going to be a screamer like Dd to respond in a defensive way. Don't put up with it.
I understand totally!!
Except people are saying it the other way round: Your next one will be a "good baby" since E was so "BAD" Miss E was not "BAD" she had/has severe gastro reflux which in turn has caused the sleep problems etc.
