Does it annoy you too?

Question

My son is 3 week old, I can not go out with him any where with out people in the streets stopping me to tell me how cute he is or asking how old he is. He is only 7 lbs 4 ounce so a lot of people comment on how small he is. Why do people have to bug so much? Why can't they just leave me and my son alone?

I also have a lot of people commenting on how well i look and how its great that I'm still so slim (9 stone) Its really annoying me but i don't want to be rude to people.

Answer 1

throw a sheet over his head.

the nerve of those people, how dear they give you a compliment on how slim you are so quick after child birth and tell you how adorable your bundle of joy is.  

people are so cruel.  giving you the superstar treatment.  after all only nicole kidman, jennifer lopez, get that sort of awful treatment.

Answer 2

oh god yes!!

i got annoyed with the "aw isn't she tiny" or "aw isn't she dainty"

it really annoyed me, it got to the point where i was ready to punch someone.

my daughter was born 6lb 14oz and people would ask me rude questions like was she premature!. it got so bad that even the positive remarks annoyed me.

i never comment people because its none of my buisness i wish others felt the same!.

edit: having people touching my child and telling me she's gorgous is great but they go too far!!

poeple she's not being rude she just doesnt want to have to put a front on everytime she steps out the door!

Answer 3

Just smile nod and walk away.

Or Go make a shirt that say "Leave Me The h**l Alone!". Seriously.

Answer 4

well you got to understand if someon sees a new baby then they just want to compliment him and see him and if you look that good after having a baby of ocurse they are going to compliment you just accept it or dont go out

Answer 5

Yes it does. My daughter is 1 and I hate going anywhere. She is very very very adorable (and no I dont just think it becase I am her mom, I think it becasue she is a baby model and I have professional tell me so). I can not go to the grocery store and run in and out. I get about 100000 old people wanting to talk to her and touch her hands. Which grosses me out like no other. I dont kind when people are talking to her, but I HATE the touching and poking. Who knows what kind of disesase/illnesses these people have? It takes me 20 minutes to walk into the store for milk; it's rediculous.  

Answer 6

Oh jeez.    

  

I know compliments are so horrible  *rolling eyes*  people like you annoy me.  "omg I hate getting compliments about how good I look."  Boo hoo

Answer 7

There is nothing you can do about it. Appreciate it for what it is. A nice person making a compliment about your child or you is a good thing. I would be accepting of positive comments from others because they will not last forever.In a world of negativity and hate a compliment is a nice reminder there are still kind people in the world.

Answer 8

take it as a compliment!

Answer 9

I understand that hearing the same things over and over again every time you leave the house can get old fast. Keep in mind though, that these people weren't there for the other people who commented on your son. They don't know that you've heard it all a million times and are getting tired of it.

All they know is that you have a cute baby with you. People love babies. They aren't doing it to annoy you, and saying "Hi," to your cute baby probably left a smile on their faces for the rest of the day.

Instead of getting annoyed at people who aren't doing anything wrong, and who certainly aren't trying to hurt or bother you in any way, why not bask in the fact that you have a cute son?

Answer 10

Sorry - I think its lovely when people comment on how cute your baby is - I had a lot of that with my first and still get stopped in the street, even tho he's 2! A few people have said he would be a cute child model, and it makes me swell with pride.

Sorry to disagree with you, congrats on your newborn x

Answer 11

Who gets annoyed with someome telling them they look great after having a child?  No one I know.

People love babies!!!  Its that simple.  They can't help but look.  Get used to it.

Answer 12

Jeese your easily annoyed, your attitude would annoy me!!

You dont want to sound like a moody cow...........well you do so change your attitude if you dont want people thinking that!!!

Sackley7 below.......Get over yourself!!!

Answer 13

Lol, Yes i get this too and it does some times get annoying but i have had it twice already with my other 2 children so i guess its just some thing you have to get use to.

I have to say though i may still be the size i was before i got pregnant but i don't have people commenting on how good i look, I look more like a walking zombie at the moment lol. My son is 2 weeks and 4 days old and i'm not getting much sleep at the moment.

Answer 14

its strange how when you have a baby the amount of people that talk to you when you have a baby!!! but when you are sleep deprived and people want to make conversation it is annoying and irritating!! i get it with my little boy everywhere i go and sometimes people do make comments like " hes a big boy" and i really really hate that!! it is so rude hes only 22lbs and i find it offencive. but what i really hate is " aah is he/she good" no babies are good or bad!! its the old women that are worse!!

Answer 15

I used to love people telling me how cute my baby was, after all he was cute! A new born baby can bring so much happiness to people, you should be pleased that your precious little bundle has made someone smile.

Answer 16

Wow.....

Answer 17

Why would it annoy you to have people praising your child?  Would you rather them point and laugh at him?

Take it for what it is, a compliment.  

If you dont want people commenting on how well you look, eat loads of cakes and get fat.

Seems to me you just like complaining.

Answer 18

People love babies.  I never objected to people telling me how cute my baby was.  I loved it.  My youngest son was born 11lbs 1oz.  People always stopped us to comment about his size.  It never bothered me.  You just have to learn to look at it from a different perspective.  Take it as a compliment, not a nuisance.  I've never met a woman in my entire life that was upset because people complimented her on how great she looked.  Sounds like you are just stressed and need to relax a bit.  You are taking this WAY too seriously.

Answer 19

If it's annoying you so much sweetie why did you have to put your weight in brackets?

Why do we need to know how much you weigh if you hate people commenting about it in the streets?

seems you on a bit of an ego trip with this question.

Answer 20

Yawn.......

So what you are really trying to say is that your baby is beautiful and you are lovely and slim 3 weeks after giving birth but didn't know else to put it across.

Good for you.

Edit

I think Sackley is being a tiny bit sarcastic..

Answer 21

It's better than being ignored is'nt it!!!

How would you feel if people treated you and your baby as if you were invisible :-)

Answer 22

Im afraid your stuck with it  people have come up to my son while breast feeding and stroked his cheek!!! he is nearly 7 months and the other day I went to the  hospital for a check up and people stopped me one man said oohhh look how big he is and the next lady oooh he is small for his ages isn't he  FU,,,CK OfF  he just is !!

I wish I got the slim thing though hehehe  

Answer 23

I haven't been in this situation so I don't know how you feel but I think you should take it as a compliment rather than seeing it as a hassle. You should be proud that your son is cute enough for random people in the street will stop you and say it.

Everyone loves a baby and in this day and age I'm suprised to hear people still being as friendly.

I realise it must be annoying for you, but it would make my day people telling me how cute my baby is and how slim i looked lol!! :)
