Well, I've made this friend. She's one of the mums at the nursery where Toddles goes to. She's very nice and we started to go out places and I visit her house so that her son and Toddles can have play sessions.........
Well, she does boast about her son such a lot. He's her only child and she's trying for another one, but without success. and she keeps going on about 'townies' (people who aren't countryfied and who live in the town) as though they're inferiour. We went to the kids farm today and I started going on about how cute the pygmy goats were and then she said that serious farmers don't keep them and that they mainly appeal to 'townies'! Well, you know that I'm fkn fanatical about animals AND that I know a fair amount about them, so I took this as an insult. Then, she started going on about tractors and kept name dropping about the different types, so I told her that my husband used to have a Massey Ferguson! I thought "what the hell am I joining in with this for"? because I don't go in for boasting AT ALL! I don't go around boasting about stuff and I don't see the need for it - it just smacks of insecurity and it's vulgar and childish. Everybody is different and has had different life experiences and I think that boasting about being born in the countryside and calling all other people 'townies' is just plain silly and insulting. I only live in the fkn town because of the kids' school! She's just getting a bit 'superior' that's all, but she doesn't really know much about me at all because I don't boast or go on about myself and I do have a shameful past, so I just keep quiet. What's the deal with this person? She also claims that her 3.5 year old knows the entire alphabet AND can count up to 100 - something which I seriously doubt!!!!!!!!! There is NO point being in a damn competition with friends over their kids! ? |

and she also seems to be one of these people that says the exact opposite of what you say just to be awkward. Like if I said "oh, what a nice day today", she'd say it was too hot.....you know the type.

She's a hag who can only feel better about herself by making those around her feel small. don't even break a sweat over this one. Everytime she is stupid like this just smile and SAY NOTHING. Pretty soon she'll take the hint that she isn't as interesting as she thinks she is....

I have a friend just like this well was a friend......well not the country townie part, but she boast did the same things w/ her kids, and made me feel as if I was weird for some of choices and her kid just got this or does this or goes there, or is signing up for this........blah I know how you feel and at first like you I joined in a bit ya know anything you can do I can do better, but there point was mute it stressed me and I think she got pleasure it made her feel bigger. I quit hanging out with her for a while.........and low and behold the chick was dressing like me, did her eye makeup the same, started getting into things that was MY THING!!!!! Then it hit me, it took a while, but I realized she really didn't think she was better than me or her child was better than mine she was jealous of my life, and wanted to be more like me, weird way of showing it, but yeah.....lol

*lol*
I'm pleased that I'm not the only one! I was cringing 'cos Toddles was having a crying session at the farm and her kid was standing there like perfect 'n' stuff and HE ate ALL his lunch whereas Toddles refused HIS! I was so fed up, but I feel a bit better now that I know I'm not the only one. I dunno why people are like this. It's so unnecessary as I'm no threat and Toddles is no more or less bright than her kid. Oh, she was showing off about how her kid gets himself dressed each day as well and how he's so independant! I'm sure that she makes half this stuff up as I've never come across a three year old that can dress itself! I feel like sayin' "hey, we're obviously too thick to hang around with you anymore, so I think we'll just p*ss off someplace else"!!!!! = |

Yes your not the only one the girl I was referring to has even let this attitude spill over to her son......I dont think she realizes what she does is wrong and annoying so she def. doesn't see that her son is a brat.......lol he can have the same kind of toy as another kid but his parents have him beleiving that his things are to nice for other kids to touch like kids will come over and he'll have a toy out and he''ll say thats mine only I can touch that one and his mom has come in many times and confirmed thats his "put it away so no one can touch it and ruin it" she has said right in front of me. If something gets messed up or damaged he is never at fault it's always another kid....ect ect. He thinks hes better and above just like his mom, I quit letting the kids play a long time ago and sometimes you have to do things like that......I vertainly will not allow my kids to think they are better than other ppl. Lol I could go on and on on this topic, lol but I will not, lol I just def. know how you are feeling.

It's annoying because I like Toddles to have somebody his own age to play with - he's getting bad habits from his older brother, so I kind of need him to spend time with this woman's kid. Everytime I make a friend who has a young kid it turns out they're nuts and I can't stand 'em! I'm not fussy, but I just want somebody normal to hang out with :-/ Her kid seems okay, but I can't stand being insulted all the time.

I had a three year old who knew the alphabet and could actually read base books. I would of loved to of boasted about him, but it was pretty hard when his cousin was reading friggin novels at the same age :-( (he is considered above average, she on the other hand went to a school for the gifted...hahahahahah)
He has better hair! = |
