[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will always be parents that brag on their kids. Learning to tune it out is a serious parenting skill. I find it helpful to realize that the odds are good that that mother is insecure about her parenting and bolstering her confidence by focusing on the things she is bragging about. [/quote] This. Stop reading her social media. Hide her if you need to for a bit. Down the line she is the same parent who will be complaining the school is "accusing" her little snowflake of being a bully because they don't understand him. Stay arm's length polite. I find a few phrases to have back are nice "oh that's nice" or "I'm glad that's worked out for your family" or "huh". Don't overshare about your own child's progress/stats. Just say "on Billy is right where he needs to be" if you have to say something. "Billy is doing well!" etc. [/quote]
