[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, I was changing DC's diaper the other day, and a mom noticed it was cloth (hard to hide) and said, "Oh, I bet you think you're better than me because you use cloth and I use Huggies." It was strange, so strange. I didn't know what to say and just muttered something about it being cheaper. I have a really hard time dealing with up front people and knowing what to say when I'm directly challenged.[/quote] If I was in your situation, I would come up with a few multi-purpose de-escalation phrases. So in this situation, you could say, "Nope! I think we're both doing the best we can!" and then compliment her or her child in some way. That phrase will work for a lot of situations, and the more you use it, the more natural it will become. Note: it also has the added benefit of being true.[/quote]
