Today, I took my wife and newborn baby girl home from the hospital. While waiting for the elevator, an elderly couple leaned over, saw our baby, and said, "Look, it's the fat kid that was in the nursery." My baby is six and a half pounds, and my wife hasn't stopped crying. FML

You should of replied "Look, its those wrinkled prunes that go around insulting newborn babies". That'll teach them ;DD

How is this an FML? The chubby babies are usually the cutest and the healthiest. Fat babies are the best.

i weighed 10lbs when i was born and i aint obese.. given im 5'5" weighing 165.. but all muscle.. high school runningback ftw.. Your wife should be fine, grandma is just wearing some 100x magnifying glasses.. maybe it looked 200lbs to her

Some people just have no respect, and some people are using words in a different context. some people do not find certain words as derogatory as others do, chances are they were giving your new born a compliment, proberly seeing it was a 6lbs baby thought it might give a little confidence boost to call it fat, chubby, or podgy or whatever. Of course only you know what tone of voice they used it in, and if it was in a derogatory way, you should have confronted them, people don't learn their lesson unless they are put in their place. old, young, or middle aged, you shouldn't offer anyone respect who disrespects you, your family or offends in a purposefull way. In other words, if you see them again, stab them.

So the **** what? How is this remotely an FML? Don't you have a diaper to change?

6.5 lbs is a bit small actually (I was about 6.5 and tiny) and I hope its just the hormones that are making your wife react in such a way..she should be happy to have a healthy child. Anyway, granny was just rude..sure she wasnt a senile patient?

isnt that little below what the average baby weighs? all i remember is normally babies are roughly 3kg which is 6.6 pounds according to google. i was 3.2kg or 7 pounds if you like

Er right, I was over 9 pounds, soon after the bab fat stage I turned skinny. who cares what old people think? It's not like you can put your baby on a diet.

that's horrible!! what assholes would say something like that.....

"Fat" isn't an insult when it's about newborns.

lol, some people are idiots, where do these people that comment live, Ethiopia because 6 and a 1/2 pounds is normal. 1-2 pounds is under weight.
