[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met her in the line at preschool and things were budding and fine between us until first grade. Now everything feels to me like a competition, or nose-rubbing event with her. I may have experienced the last straw.

I first noticed it around early 1st grade. Her daughter came out nose in a book, reading a pretty advanced, Harry Potter-level chapter book and I remarked about it and she replied something like, “Yep! Why, isn’t Larla reading chapter books yet?” It made me question everything. Ever since then it’s been much of the same: If it’s not comments about academics and how advanced her kids are, it’s about how they overachieve in other areas. I’m sick of it.

Today I was shamed for still folding and putting away my 8yo clothes. Of course, she doesn’t do that for her kids. [/quote]

Yes, drop her. Just ghost and don't explain. I have known people like that, very few, but they never improve. Never. And the kids are no picnic either. [/quote]

Agreed. SHE is the insecure one, trust me. No one normal/happy acts like that. Life's too short.[/quote]
