[quote=Anonymous]You need to call her out on her judginess in the moment, comment by judgmental comment.  Tell her repeatedly that you two just have very different perspectives, and you're just going to have to agree to respect each other's choices or else there will be too much friction (hint, hint!).  If you have the kind of relationship where you can tell her she's becoming like a stereotype of a Born-Again Christian or someone on Weight Watchers or someone who has recently quit smoking -- too proselytizing and fixated and self-righteous.  (No offense to anyone! I am in one of these categories myself.)  If she can't knock it off, you're going to have to scale way back on how much time you spend with her.

As for comments involving your kids, you can just say that it's pretty much a universal norm that people without kids don't make judgmental comments about their friends with kids and how they parent.

She sounds pretty damned tedious, OP!  Maybe she needs a hot-fudge sundae and a binge marathon of Netflix.[/quote]
