Things you never noticed before becoming a parent

[aggiebug]

misshart00 some of it is family comments and others are strangers. It is mostly "wow you look great I can't believe you lost all the weight so fast" type of comments. It's nothing mean I just find it awkward. I also don't get why we, as a society, are so focused on a woman's body.

H's family have been some of the worst this past year. None of them mean any harm by it but I had a big talk about it with H a long time ago that those comments stop with his parents. Body image and self esteem start in the home, and we are keeping it positive.

When someone does that, I change them on the sink. Sorry not sorry.

I would have if I could. It was at Panera and they didnt have a counter, only just a sink. I was so mad. I even said loudly "I guess the changing table is the big stall!!"

Wow!! That's so ignorant!! I'm a germaphobe though so I'll only change the baby in the car. She's yet to enter a public bathroom. If I was desperate I'd cross my fingers that she doesn't pee/poop on me and change her on my lap regardless of what anyone else thinks.

How handicap inaccessible some places are and not just stairs or lack of automatic doors. I'm trying to take advantage of those things for my stroller. It would be awful if I needed them every day and every time.
