[quote=Anonymous]I know these parents! I just say "Wow, amazing! That's great, looks like I need another drink/have to go to the bathroom/whatever" and move along. Like a PP said, I often think in my mind that my kid got a better score or whatever they are talking about but that is no one's business so am not going to say it out loud. The one that baffles me is the Suzuki violin parents...my DD is in a youth orchestra but doesn't learn via Suzuki, parents have asked me what book she is on. I have no clue but this must be a thing b/c then they'll say "Larla is on Book 6!" or whatever. My mom always said "I don't tell people when you do things wrong so I'm also not going to tell everyone when you did something right." I think there is some wisdom there. A small handful of friends are the exception, because we share the highs and lows. [/quote]
