My concern is with our new school community - a mother commented my child was fast and good at soccer- she then said her son was born in November and how she wished she could have sent him earlier and she lamented he had to wait a while year to go to school. Her son was not very physical and had trouble even using the playground equipment. She then asked me what month my son was born in and I said May. She then said, "Oh so he must have turned 4 in May then? She was just pressing the issue even though it was apparent I wanted to end the conversation.

I don't want to share everything I just shared on this post with new parents or even new friends. I'd rather other parents just not ask or def not grill me about it. How can I do this?

Don't hide his age.

If people ask questions, answer them.   If they push, say "Oh, sorry, I remembered I have to be somewhere" or "Excuse me, I see someone  I need to talk to" or "I have to go to the bathroom" or whatever. Just extricate yourself. You don't have to justify your decision to anyone.[/quote]
