[quote=Anonymous]She's not your girlfriend, so I wouldn't shoot the sh-t with her about promotions at work and the high cost of rec soccer or whatever. Tell her about cute things the kids did. Ask for her potato salad. Ask her to tell you cute stories about things your spouse did as a toddler. Ask where she's going on vacation. If you feel judged, it's because you are choosing to feel that way. Don't care so much about her opinion of your choices -- own your choices and you won't care if she thinks you should do x, y, or z. If she says "Why don't the kids spend the day at the swimming pool?" It's easy to say "All the pools in our neighborhood have a wait list, so we're on them. Hopefully in a couple of years!" Then move on. [/quote]
