[quote=Anonymous]You have to make a mindful and conscious decision not to engage and participate. And then you also have to give yourself permission to find these people a little nutty. Also, this is born from deep, deep insecurity about their parenting. If you can find it in yourself to find something genuinely good about their parenting to compliment it sometimes ends the endless one-upsmanship. “Henry was reading chapter books by first grade” “That’s so great. You know Emily, it’s amazing that you find the time every night to read with Henry— carving out that time is so hard and so important”[/quote]
