10 Things To Never Say To First Time Parents

4. Why Won't The Baby Stop Crying?

What do you want them to say, that they have given birth to a demon child? Babies cry! The baby will cry, poo, pee and projectile vomit on anyone because the baby simply doesn't care or really understand social situations; it's not okay to poo on your grandmother is a lesson that they'll learn later on in life. It's so difficult to differentiate between cries for a dirty nappy or for when the baby is hungry. But so far, that could be the worst moment of that child's life and seeing a clown for the first time will be the worst thing that they've ever experienced in their entire lives, so they're allowed to cry about it.
