[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hate it when adults think it’s ok to ignore kids and act like they aren’t there - which it sounds like you do, and you want everyone else to do, too.

I absolutely teach my kids not to interrupt, but if they politely join a conversation - say, we’re talking about our vacation, and the kid chimes in with their favorite parts or little details and forgot - I’m 100% on board. Kids do not learn how to have polite conversation by talking exclusively with other kids. They need to talk to adults as well.[/quote]

It’s asking a lot of the other adult especially if they have been around kids all day. You the parent think it’s delightful when little Larlo talks (sooo cute!) but the other person probably longing for adult talk. Too much of that and you won’t be talking with that person any more. Not every interaction is about your kids. It’s something you learn as a parent. [/quote]

I think OP needs to understand "everything is not about you" maybe she missed that in her upbringing.

She sounds like she is starving for attention and it's not her friends job to help her with that.[/quote]

Same could be said for the friend's kid, though.  It is not OP's job to entertain the friend's kid. [/quote]

I'd agree if the OP was the mom who loves to hear her child talk and was posting on DCUM... but that is not the situation, this is a person so bothered by a child talking during a visit with friends that she has to post on DCUM. OP sounds really, really needy.[/quote]
