[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to be more passive-aggressive and bitchy with her. She'll stop making the comparisons if the conversations go in ways that she doesn't like. When she starts talking about how big her children are compared to yours, start talking about childhood obesity and diabetes and IQ. Say something like this in your sweetest, most sincere, innocent voice:  "I'm really glad my kids aren't in the 100% percentile. I worry about obesity. More and more kids are getting Type 2 diabetes and I heard it affects IQ in a negative way. And you know, the bigger kids get teased at school a lot."

If she wants to talk about what your other child's SN are, say in your best, chipper voice: "It's really frustrating, but my kid's doctor says that it's often the most gifted kids who have these quirky problems in other areas. " (Cite "The Dyslexic Advantage" and the SENG website and Hoagie's for more info.)
