I had my first baby about 2.5 months ago. Yesterday, me and my husband took her to Costco for some shopping.
I was sitting with my baby in the food court while my husband was in the bathroom. A boomer walks up and compliments her (she’s so cute, how old, etc). Pretty typical stuff.
Then he says “this age is the best because you have so much control over them. Just wait until she gets older!”
I thought that was so weird to say? Like first of all, we have forfeited all control to this baby already lol. She completely runs our household right now.
But also I didn’t have a baby to have total control over them??? Like of course she’s going to grow up and have opinions, preferences etc. that’s what I want, I want to raise her to be her own person that can make smart choices and think for herself. She’s not a doll!
Anyways just wanted to share. I feel like that comment was so telling for what kind of a parent he was!
