[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or you could respond every time: "Yes, I'm older and wiser!"

Does this woman act this way towards others in your group?
If yes, then you could band together and do things without her. If no, then think about why she singles you out. Are you the new person? Is your husband lower down in the hierarchy than her husband, or other social/class issues like this?

Don't let her have this power over you and your daughter. If necessary, say clearly in front of all the group: " Please stop talking about my age or my daughter's age every time we meet. Thank you". She will lose face in front of the others.[/quote]

I dont know what she talks about me before other friends. in the get togethers, there are lots of topics flying around. so this is rare topic in a group. but she exaggerated other things and embarrassed me sometimes. she talks something like ' her daughter is older so she can go to work and my kids are 3 and 7 and i cannot go to work now." it is a pretty small group of friends. one family does not meet much as their kids are boys and all the others have girls. But that lady used to say something about this lady's exaggeration/gossip. but I never comment on such things. i prefer to just hear and not say anything.

regarding social class. no we are not inferior in anyway. I am acutally much more educated than her. 
I am not trying to be demeaning. 
I can say that she is street smart. she takes wiser decisions based on her communication skills and extension research. she can answer back sponteneously. even anything as a small insult to her, she will handle pretty well and gives back to the person who insulted her. I just watch it and say wow, i would have cried if someone said that to me. but she is strong and insulted the other person equally and more. I am not sure if they are all taking each other's comments as insults. They are all doing it with laughs and smiles. This opens up a bigger topic. but since I live next door to this woman, I should know to handle her. specially because my daughter is getting hurt here.

she is one of the talkitive persons in the family get togethers.
dont really know if she ist rying to hurt me and my daughter or not.
