I know every baby develops differently. I also know that all moms think their child is the most adorable little person. I do not compare my little girl to the child next to her. But what would you do if someone does? (This is just a question). I asked because a friend of mine (who doesn’t have kids yet) asked me this the other day. Clearly she doesn’t have any clue about motherhood and how it works, well I’m a mommy and I’m still learning everyday. So I told her the truth, how I don’t like my Iyah being compared with another baby, especially when its not in a good way. You see her pedia always tell us she will most likely be as tall as me when she grows up (and by as tall as me I mean she’ll be petite). Of course I know that this trait is genetic and my husband’s family is not tall at all and in our family only my dad is. Among three daughters no one got that from him. So I’m okay with that, but apparently some people could find this a flaw (lol) and would often mention this in conversations. So as my friend and I talked some more about her inaanak she asked me if I ever upset when this happens and what will I do to stop it. Well I would do nothing. It is normal for others to compare their child to yours (although sometimes I wish they would stop at some point) and I’m fine with it. I know there’s nothing wrong with my little girl and even if she’s not the tallest baby in the room she’s lovely and she has a charming personality. Yes and I know other moms think like this about their child too.
