My lo is still very young at 15 months but can do a lot more than other babies her age, she says about 60 words and forms simple sentences of a few words, can count and say colours and other things and I find myself having to keep my mouth shut all the time or having to say a lot "oh but she's bad at this..." Because other mums assume I'm trying to compete or bragging or online they think I'm lying and I'm so sick of it. I post a lot on babycentre about all different things, everyone else shares when their lo walks or talks or does other things and regularly lists what their lo can do and everyone congratulates them but if I share anything about my lo then I'm a terrible person for making others feel like their lo isn't as good/is behind or make them feel bad about their parenting style when that's not my intention at all and I would never ever say that about anyone but people make up their own things in their mind and then have a go at me and there's nothing I can do about it. I feel like I can't share my los achievements and have to keep quiet.
