Mom phrases that make you cringe

my mum calls my little one "doll" and i can't stand it, but i don't know how to tell her as there is nothing particularly wrong about it

mine too and it gave me the creeps ...

Whenever my daughter cried, my mom used to say it would make me start lactating. Which yes, is normally true, but 1) I barely produced any milk at all, didn't matter what I did, and 2) why do people have to discuss my breast milk anyway? I love my mom and she's a great grandma but c'mon.

right? It just feels weird to me for some reason lol. My mil is a wonderful grandma I just can't stand when she mentions my milk.

Yeah, I'd feel even more weird if it was my husband's mom, fortunately I know she'd never discuss my breast milk like that. Maybe my mom is just more comfortable idk.

Also, less cringy but people who get offended if baby isn't 100% comfortable being held by them. I have an aunt who tried to hold my daughter once and she was shy, so now my aunt won't even try and says she doesn't like her. Lmao

(Btw, holla from Red Deer! 👋)

''That's just the beginning'', ''That's mum's life'', any cliché phrases like that make me annoyed 😬

for me it’s the phrase you think she’s hard now just wait until… like yes she’s gonna be hard when she’s bigger but she’s my first baby so literally everything is hard 😭

Im sorry but if my mother or mother in law would have said that.. I would have been the happiest person. Instead I got the “she still seems hungry” now that broke me a little

That’s actually the sweetest thing. But if it makes you uncomfortable, let her know. Sounds like she won’t have a problem with a boundary.

it was very sweet, I just think talking about someone's breast milk (or just mine specifically) is weird. Just made me uncomfortable. And if I said something to her she'd have hurt feelings so I will just smile and nod as I cringe lol. I'm sorry you got that comment, it's definitely rude and unhelpful

The term “Liquid gold” and anyone calling breast milk “liquid gold” not sure why it just makes me feel weird 🤣🤣🤣

I saw a woman describe her stretch marks as her "child's first drawings" and I died inside 😂

Other adults referring to me as ‘mama’. Like my baby being a newborn and the health visitor saying ‘and how’s mama doing?’ I can completely see how it’s supposed to be a nice thing to say but I don’t like it one bit.
