[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that you come off as an over bearing know it all. You probably don't mean to, but that's how she's taking it. You said you worked with kids and youre 10 years older than she is, so she is probably thinks that working with kids is NOT parenting, and she's tired of hearing the advice, even if it's a little thing or just something fun. Should she be a bit more gracious? Absolutely. But should know your audience. She doesn't want to hear it, so don't bring it up. Same with the gifts...yes it's snobby to demand the high end brand, but if you don't want to buy the brand she asked for, buy something else completely. This is a case of "you can't control someone else's reactions but you can control your own actions"[/quote]
