I have a friend who's daughter is 2 months younger than my dd who's 10 months & all she has done since our babies have been born is buy everything I've got & big her baby up. When we chat, she ignores everything I say, or says her daughter does something more. If I say I am proud my daughter stood up for a few seconds unaided, she says hets walks across the room. I said my daughter found the stairs & apparently her daughter of 8 months can go up and down stairs independently (hard to believe)
Many a time she's said something unbelievable & if I'm at her house get family are shocked and say 'she can't do that' etc...
When she says these thinks, I feel like my daughter is behind & I feel so bad. I'm a full time mum & she works full time & leaves her daughter with family, so I feel like I put so much effort in & she belittles it. I told her my daughter could say about 5 words & apparently gets can speak French & englush. Why do people lie like this? It's beginning to ruin our friendship the lies, competitiveness & her constantly going to the ends of the earth to have everything exactly the same as me or better. I'm proud of my little one no matter how long things take her & her daughter although physically may he more advanced, I worry she doesn't know how to play, she just sits there, never smiles, isn't interactive- she just stares. How do I stop this affecting our friendship. I find myself avoiding her calls etc now because I don't want to feel negative for all my hard work. Any ideas? X
