One of the many valuable lessons of motherhood: just because it was said with a smile and a sweet delivery doesn't necessarily make it nice. On a daily basis, many moms endure oozing drool, crazy schedules, and sleepless nights. Yet despite all of the struggles, it's the "kind" words from strangers that do more damage than a blowout diaper ever could. These 11 backhanded compliments might be said with an angelic smile, but there's a deeper meaning that's just plain rude — and many mamas are sick of hearing them!
01
They're so cute. They look just like their dad!
02
You're too young to have two kids!
03
You had a C-section? Must've been nice to have the easy way out.
04
Good for you for going back to work after having a baby — I could never let strangers watch my children.
05
You look great for a mom your age!
06
You're so lucky that your husband works so hard that you don't have to!
07
You don't look bad for having all of those kids!
08
You look so pretty, I didn't even recognize you!
09
You sure do have your hands full!
10
How great that you're a stay-at-home mom now! I couldn't do that, I'd get so bored with nothing to do all day.
