Okay, so there is nothing wrong with being proud of your toddler. But, what would you do you do if you have a fellow "Mom" friend that is ALWAYS bragging about her child in a manner that is trying to put your child down?
I mean, my friend is really competitive about her child. She will have her child recite things (abc's, number's, etc., more like tricks than anything) and will say, "can SHE do that?" Or she'll ask my daughter directly, "can YOU count to 20?" . . . and then she will infer that I am not teaching her right . . . She just turned 2 a week ago for cripes sakes! I didn't know I was coming over for a spelling bee!
I have 2 jobs 2 kids and plenty else to take care of, I don't have time to sit there and help my toddler memorize stuff. At the same time, it really IRKS me that she is trying to make me or my child seem insufficient.
It just seems like some moms are SO competitive and judgmental.
What would you do?
