[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes ANY parent think another parent wants to hear someone brag about his/her kid?  It is SO obnoxious when parents do that:  "Sasha is reading Harry Potter in kindergarten."  "James is doing math 2 grades ahead."  UGH![/quote]

It is exactly as unreasonable for them to tell you as for you to be driven nuts by it. There are two great solutions: they can stop telling, or you can stop being bothered by it. OP already would have looked like a jackass for starting a thread to rant about something she should just let to, but then bragging about her own child, ostensibly to prove her point, really took it to the next level.[/quote]

Well said.  So that PP is the OP too?  Ugh.  She really hates parents who think their kid is smarter than hers!  She started this whole thread to say:

[quote] STFU. My kid isn't unstimulated and it is hard to envision yours is above mine as far as his/her learning.[/quote]

I am with the PP who asked, "why do you care so much about this?"[/quote]

No...I'm the OP and haven't been responding except one other time.  I have read all the other responses, however.  I do not think my kids were bored in kindergarten.  I also don't reference what happened in preschool except if someone asks something about the name of the preschool we went to or if we liked it (i.e. they are looking for a recommendation).  I also think that kids who say they are bored in kindergarten are picking that phrase or feeling up for their own parents.  [/quote]
