She's a baby, not an "it." His description of the parents leads me to believe that they aren't likely to appreciate being advised to just forget about "it."

You might have a point if I had used the term it, which I did not.

You talked about her like she was an "it." Do you think you could step back from yourself long enough to realize that her parents aren't repulsed by her and looking for a way to walk away from her? Any ideas on how they can make the most of the time they have with her? Or do you honestly believe there's no point in them bothering?
