[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Again, I'm the friend who would prefer to not visit when she has custody. As background, I have 4 kids myself - so it's not about not liking or understanding kids or parenting. Or maybe I've lost perspective since I DO have kids. My friend is a first time mother, and at the point where she doesn't realize, or doesn't want, to multi-task (make the focus not about the toddler). There is a lot of talking in a baby voice and in the third person - ostensibly to the child, but it takes over the conversation in a way I'm not accustomed to. In other words, my sense is that there's not a total awareness that as much as I like kids and her kid specifically, I am not thrilled making everything revolve around the kid when it doesn't have to.. I know some of these things are first time mom , but t's just a bummer for me as I am not sure I see this changing soon. [/quote]
