[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Childless friends. That’s who I brag to, and also talk to about my child’s many issues, because they aren’t competitive and are more supportive than my parent friends most of the time. [/quote] Plus one. And honestly they have less skin in the game so can give you honest perspective on troubles and triumphs.[/quote] Or friends with totally different aged kids. So, e.g., when my kids were little, I had a work friend who was older with kids in their late teens. She loved to hear about cute little kid things (actually asked for cute stories) and really seemed to develop a fondness (from afar) for my kids. It was nice. I now have a younger colleague with little kids, and I ask her for cute stories. She can brag about her little ones to me any time. :-) And likewise, she seems ok hearing about things my older kids are doing. I think because the kids are so far apart in age/experience there's no danger of "competitiveness."[/quote]
