Nicely put Karen and easy enough to do, but after the comments keep coming one right after the other it gets really old having to ignore people’s comments. Especially when they are commenting on a childs heights, weight, etc… After me telling people at her former school that she isn’t “huge”, or “large” we gave up since those people were choosing to remain insensitive slobs. Parents would come right up to me and say Oh she is so huge or large, and I would answer No, she isn’t large or huge she may be abit taller than your kid but she isn’t large or huge, then that well-meaning parent would say No she is large or huge. I wanted to yell to the top of my lungs No she isn’t large or huge, your kid is short but you know I was raised to use my good manners and I would never say what I truly wanted to say. Now we are at a different and much better school (no we didn’t move because of these comments, just a better educational experience for our kids) and since Septemeber we have never heard one word that our kids, especially our daughter is large or huge. The parents at the new school have manners and use them. The other school was so chocked full of snobby parents it was shocking!
So all that said I still believe people should just shut their mouths and stop making any comments that are unkind to anybody.
