[quote=Anonymous]I’m on this board so I can seek advice and help support my nephews with special needs. My DD is NT I have totally ended friendships with my adult friends with kids because of their judgey comments and competitive behavior- about their own kids, my kids, other random kids, etc. For a while I tried to be polite and steer the conversation away, but once my kid was old enough to overhear everything I realized how awful it was for her to hear those sorts of constant, critical, self-aggrandizing comments from another adult. Now I am super deliberate about who I spend time with. Give yourself permission to find nice people, OP. I think that in the early years of parenting it can feel so hard to find new adult friends that you cling to whatever you have, especially if you don’t have the energy to put into cultivating new relationships. But once you let that fear go you’ll have room for more and better relationships. [/quote]
