Girls it drives me absolutely round the bloody bend. You know me, i will always snap back .. but to that comment i honestly don't know what to say, as he is behind
The old trout!!!
The old trout!!!
aren't they supposed to say a couple words by one year??
Not that my bubs is talking but everyone develops differently. I personally love hearing news from my friends even if Isabella is not doing it yet. I think it's more sharing the exciting news than bragging It's not like we did it, they did it and the first couple years are so exciting, so many things are happening.
Leni's been talking since 6 weeks
Annoying isn't it. I have a family friend which we meet up with (my mum and I) every 2 weeks. Her baby is Leni are the same age. She is sooooo competitive, but in a malicious way? Always pointing o ut that Leni was premature so 'must be behind' OH FUCK OFF WOULD YOU!!

One day, Leni will do something before your friend's baby! I'm too tired to think up a witty comment you could say though
It isn't just talking either!
For some people EVERYTHING is a competion.
Some recent conversations have gone like this.
Them: Is Daniel rolling yet?
Me: No. he rolled from tummy to back the other day, but the look on his face told me it was an accident and he has never done it since.
Them: How old is he?
Me: 7 months
Them: Oh - well MY Tommy was rolling at 4 months
Me: thats nice.
Them: Is he teething?
Me: I hope so - he has been a little cranky
Them: How many teeth does he have now?
Me: errrrr - none
Them: Really?? well MY Tommy started teething at 3 months.
Me: Well, I expect they will come through soon.
Them: How much does he weigh now?
Me: well, he was just over 15lb last time I got him weighed.
Them: so what percentile is that?
Me: 2nd
Them: Crikey - thats really small. MY Tommy is perfectly following the 25th.
Me: so he is stunningly average then?
and on and on and on.
It gets very boring.

personally, i think the only reason you would feel offended is if you have insecurities about your LO's development. no one is trying to make you feel bad. have pride and confidence in your parenting and LO and then you will be happy to hear about other babies' accomplishments.

People are not saying that though, we're talking about people who are mistakenly saying their LO is talking when they're just babbling, etc.

Uhm isn't that him sitting up in your avatar? Doesn't seem "behind" to me at all. She's obviously using her child's milestones as some sort of measure of her superior mothering skills
