[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on your relationship. If this is an acquaintance, or a casual friend you're not that close to, then yeah, time to distance. She's probably just insecure about her own choices, but you do not need that as a new mom! Dial back the friendship and unfollow on social media. You can always pick it back up in a few years, she might be in a better spot, plus you do have kids the same age which can be nice. If it's a close friend, or someone you value, I'd take the honesty path. Something like "I appreciate that our parenting styles are different, which is totally fine, but your comments about how you would "never sleep train" or that you are glad you didn't "give up" on breastfeeding really feel like digs at my parenting. It's hard enough navigating motherhood, but what I need now is support, not judgment, and I can't help but feel judged by your comments." Then see what she says. [/quote]
