Why I need to handle social interaction with our friends

DH's friend who moved to NC with his wife just had a baby. They sent an email with pictures of their new baby and DH responds first.

The first sentence of his reply is not "Congratulations!" but rather: "You both look EXHAUSTED!"

He means well, he really does. But I told him that no matter what a woman looks like after hours and hours of excruciating labor, you tell her she is glowing and beautiful. (for the record, she was )

Good thing we're not having kids, I think I would kill him.

Congrats on the new extension to your family of friends!

I think a lot of guys ARE just clueless about the whole 'what to say to a girl' thing in general. My best guy friend came to visit me in the hospital after I gave birth to my first son. He said "Wow.. I thought that you were supposed to lose all the weight after you have the baby!"
