[quote=Anonymous]It does seem strange that OP's friend only wants to talk about her DD constantly without asking OP about her life or her DD's life. This is less of a tiger mom situation and more that this person is self-absorbed. For that I would either say something (if this is a best friend and you are close enough to have the conversation in a way that brings this to light without it turning into a whole situation) or you go lower-contact. Over the years I have seen parents evolve into this type of person as kids approach certain grades, go through the private school admissions process, sports/club sports try-outs etc. Some parents taste success through their kids and if they didn't have it themselves growing up, it seems as if it's easy to get caught up in their child's success, live through them/become wrapped up in the whole thing and then you are in the place you are in with your friend. As an aside, your friend's daughter really does sound exceptional. Good for her![/quote]
