Things Not to Say
Parent: Having kids is such a rewarding experience. Little Jimmy can go on and on with lots of questions, and you have to stop and think and explain things to him. It is such a rewarding experience to see the world anew again, and to see things through his little eyes. And, he asks a question, then a follow-up and then on and on and on. It’s just so cute.
What Not to Say: Wow. Your kid must really be stupid.
Parent: Little Jimmy is only 14 months old, and he’s already starting potty training.
What Not to Say: My cat started using the litterbox at 4 weeks old.
Your turn…
Little Jimmy is smart to be at it at 14 months-
I have one kid- I won’t mention which of my five,
anywhoo he didn’t potty train until a week or so before 5 year old kindergarten.
Actually he’s in the 7th grade now and I am still not sure he is potty trained
because I think he’s the dude in our house who always misses the can while pissing.
He was also the kid who complained that “trick or treating was hard work.”
I live with five guys- it’s kind of like animal house.
