[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been totally surprised to see how competitive BOY moms are. I was expecting the girl moms to be difficult but they’re all very chill. The boy moms are terrible. [/quote]

It's not a boy mom or girl mom thing, I promise. It's just a person by person thing.

I have found that something that really helps reduce competition among parents is when your kids are different. So for example, I have an artsy DD who is into reading, writing, and dance. The mom I am closest to has a boy who is sporty and more STEM focused. Our kids actually get along pretty well, but they don't do any activities together and I don't think really even interact at school at all (there's a lot of segregation of boys and girls at this point). But our families feel super comfortable hanging out, and I think it's because there's not really much comparison, either between the kids or the adults. This is the only mom I feel comfortable telling when my kid is struggling or having issues at school, because I know there won't be any judgment, just empathy. And I do the same for her. [/quote]
