I always smile at people caring for children. They need encouragement, just as we all do. It is a largely thankless job, after all. The only thanks society gives you is MAYBE a 6 week maternity leave if that. At least women aren't fired for being pregnant anymore, like they were when I was young. And besides, this is reddit, where everyone is a stranger.

All of that is totally fine to tell new parents, I agree with you but

"You’re doing the lords work there. Keep it up! The rest of the world thanks you" is about 35 miles outside normal things to say but it was funny nonetheless
