[quote=Anonymous][quote]It looks to me like we have some PPs that have gone off the rails with assumptions about your daughter based on your descriptions of her being comfortable talking with adults (which many kids are not). My daughter is very comfortable talking with DH and I at home in the evening and sounds a lot like your daughter, but with friends she is off and playing with the other girls and not the least bit interested in what the adults are talking about. How they are with you doesn't necessarily dictate how they would interact with other parents on a play date.[/quote]

No one has gone off the rails, the comments are based on OP's guess about what might be going on.

[quote]Op here. This is food for thought. DD is perhaps to adult-talk prone-- she definitely feels like she can carry conversation with an adult. We are a pretty chill family, and include kids in most decisions though we do make it clear we set the rules. I guess we should teach her to keep quiet around other adults? She will just want to be part of an adult conversation, like if I am talking to DH about work she will ask about why so-so was being difficult to work with. I can imagine she interjects in other conversations at guest house.[/quote]

Could be that OP is wrong, but her guess if probably better than ours, since it is her kid.  OP, is there one mom or dad you are closer with who you might feel comfortable asking about this issue?[/quote]
