[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all your thoughts.  To be clear, I don't think my friend is a sanctimommy.

[b]I was trying to think of a good example of what bothers me - She'll talk with absolute confidence about potty training when someone asks a question, but she has yet to train her child, who is 2[/b].  How can you be so sure about potty training when you've never done it?  She went to a potty training class though.

I just try to remember that we have different lives- not judging either as better or worse, just different. She has one child and stays at home.  Said child is 2.  I have 3 children, 2 of whom are older than hers.  I work out of the home.[/quote]

OP, after reading this I'm afraid it's just you who's insecure.

Your friend is clearly just trying to help passing on information she has learned in a class. She's confident overall, what clearly rubs you the wrong way so whatever she says will sound preachy to you.

I'd just let it go and open my ears to what she has to say. It might help you or it might not. I'd rather pay attention and learn, but that's just me.[/quote]
