Competitive Moms

Does anyone feel like they are competing with other moms? I find that meeting new moms at the park etc. it has become so competitive! Are you breastfeeding? My baby is soooo content, my baby is rolling over, crawling, sitting up etc. I find it frustrating and very annoying. We all parent differently but we all need the support from other parents. what gives with competing moms?

This is really common, and sometimes moms just want to feel like you think they are doing a great job, and they are proud of the things they have taught their children, or the little accomplishments they are seeing take place with their new babies.

It can get annoying if it is just too much and I can understand why you would feel this way.

Just try and say things like "oh wow, you must be so proud" if you dont want to join in on the baby brag fest. She probably just wants a little recognition so think of something to say that won't be rude, and ill nip it in the bud.

I am sure they are just proud. I know I have probably "bragged" once or twice about my tot. Can't help it!
