Bad Compliment

“You know Lauren, You are a complete 180 from when I met you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? That I am NOT the same person that you met and fell in love with? What’s so different about me that I am a complete 180 from when we met?”

“I mean…uhh…ummm. Just that I am so impressed with how you turned out.”

you really must enjoy the taste of your foot.

poor Lauren. I wonder if she really knew what she was getting into the day you asked her out?

William, what is the matter with you? This woman said "Yes" to your "Big Question"! You will never find another like her. You should be filling her head and heart with wonderful compliments, not strange comments like that one. Will you never learn? Be kind, and think before you speak. I know we discussed this as you were growing up. Did you forget?You are Blessed with a beautiful, caring, sensitive, intelligent wife. Please be nice to her.

Someone asked me this weekend what your blog was about. I said it was about being a parent, and also just about "being Bill." I think this post is a good example of that : ) Good to see you too.

Yeah not such a hot comment!

So...what did you REALLY mean?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see where it's 100% a bad compliment at all. She isn't the same woman...she's now the most beautiful Mother of your boys and she wasn't that before. Your meaning was well intended so hopefully you aren't in the dog house for stating it.
