I believe that she isn’t doing this to be malicious, but she doesn’t really have anything else to talk about. Is there any nice, non-confrontational way to tell her to quit it?
Wow.

I can see what everyone is talking about. Sometimes I find myself talking to one of my kids about the other....including kids....and I think I come accross as comparing them. My intention is for them to be informed about each other....they are all so busy!
Please, if anyone has advice as to not come accross as comparing or judgemental....please let me know. I love them ALL so much!
