Don't sweat it.
At least she confirms that the children are yours.

Believe it or not my husband and I still do the same thing,when I am talking about our daughter I always refer her to his daughter, I might say "your daughter is a pain in the neck", but it is only (I think) and expression, as he always say's to me "she's your daughter,deal with it". If your children are doing something you are proud of--usually both parents want to take the credit , but if something happens that you do not know how to deal with, it is always the other parent (especially when they are no longer together) who takes the blame,as neither want to think they have failed. By the way, neither have failed, they have always done their best.it is not a woman thing,we just think we have the upper hand all the time,and we are usually wrong!!!!!!!

You are spot on it is a woman thing, I love the praise when my boy is good at school, when he has had a strop I do blame his dad. I know I shouldn't and I will try very hard to mend my ways, after all he is both of us in one beautiful, cute , cheeky, naughty little package, so we are both to blame for the bad bits, thankfully few and far between, and we can both wallow in the glory bits, when he has achieved.

Women, despite insistence on equality, conveniently still run double standards that always makes the man the bad guy.
My favorite example of this is verbal abuse of spouse and family. Men are always portrayed as the perpetrator, and the women the victims. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows women are more verbally abusive than men. Statistically, men take a bad rap on this because women complain to their friends, get sympathy, encouragment to report the man and of course womankind's ultimate weapon...those friends tell two friends and they tell two friends...and so on and so on...
The man sucks it up and deals with it. he doesn't want to admit to his friends that he has a problem like this with his spouse and get laughed at.
Women have known for ages that they can get away with murder because of male pride and take advantage of this in any way they can.
Think about it

It is psychologically true that children (in general) regard Dad as being the fun one, the one they get to mess around with and play with the most. Mum is regarded as the one who makes them do their chores, get dressed, clean up etc. It is probably womans' way of making themselves feel more important in the child's successes and fun things and to distance themselves from trouble.

Dude, it is her subtle way of blasting you.
Like the evil serpents of old, more subtly than any other creature, is the tongue of a woman's deceit.
Women are sneaky. Men tell bald-faced lies. Point blank. Women tell tales so intricately woven together, it takes years to disseminate them.

Hehe, that's the same as men who always hand the baby to their wives, while cheerfully announcing "here's mommy's little man", whenever the diaper is so soggy that the kid is practically treading water.

My Hubby does the same thing!
When your proud, you take ownership.
How many people stand up to say "I made that mistake" or take ownership?
Same thing! But it's not just women.
No offense taken!

It's just a spite thing. Nothing to be mean purposely. Just playing around. My husband and I both do it all the time. I started it, but now he plays too.
