[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find new friends. This behavior is exhausting and doesn't get better.[/quote] OP here. These are not my friends! I wouldn't tolerate that. They are parents from school or the neighborhood, sometimes friends of friends we will encounter at a bbq or house party. We've had three weekends of events like this in a row where I wound up encountering multiple people like this and after weekend 3 I realized I need some kind of strategy because it's obvious I'm going to be dealing with it with some frequency. Thanks for the tips so far. I need to work on my skills to redirect conversations. Thinking I need to ask people about their vacations more. I think competitive types love talking about their vacations, and that's better than being competitive about kids at least.[/quote]
