I know I haven’t been a parent that long (aka almost five years), but the amount of remarks that are made about my parenting or my kids are endless. \u00a0The comments\u00a0are made by the likes of family, friends and strangers and while often they are well meaning, sometimes I think people are just clueless. \u00a0Some people just don’t adhere to the golden rule of If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em>To enlighten those of you who might be wondering if you’ve made a faux pas\u00a0before (heck, I know I have ), here’s a list of some comments\u00a0that you should NOT make to parents.<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0You look so tired\u00a0<\/strong>Is that just a really nice way of saying I look like crap? Yes, I’m tired. In fact, I’m exhausted. I’m a stay at home mom and I have three kids under the age of five home with me all day, every day, with not much help. \u00a0I’m still breastfeeding the youngest and guess what? He still wakes up at night (I know, I have to nip that issue in the butt). I don’t need a reminder that I look tired – I am tired!<\/p>\n
