[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have recently cut off a friendship with a former very close friend. As we have become moms, we have taken different paths. I felt very judged by her comments about my parenting decisions and recently just decided that I'm done. I haven't had to had the confrontation about it- I'm hoping that the friendship will just die out as im no longer investing. [/quote]

This is the OP. Yes, I feel judged as well. Emma has brought up multiple times that she does not understand why I'm comfortable with my son having a male kindergarten teacher. She does not allow her kids to watch any TV and talks at length about it (my son is allowed to watch a limited amount of television). I breastfed my son for 8 months-she breastfed both of her kids for two plus years and loves to bring up the fact that they rarely get ill (my son unfortunately gets ear infections) and that her kids are ahead in terms of their milestones, how well adjusted they are, etc. My husband and I are "one and done"...Emma likes to talk about how children need siblings, that we really should consider having another child, etc.

I agree with the other posters that you can't expect friends to be perfect but I'm tired of feeling judged and put down. Honestly, I know I need to just "suck it up" and tell her frankly how I feel but I don't know how well that will go. We were roommates in college and our husbands are good friends-there's a lot of history there. I'm hoping that maybe once our kids are older things will be better.
