There is a Mom that I know from pre-school that insists on asking questions about my daughter, what lessons she takes, what activities I do with her daily, whether or not I baked the treats that she shared from scratch... the list goes on and on. At first, I thought that she must simply be interested in what we do, and that she was trying to strengthen the common bond that we already share because our children are classmates and friends. Now... I am slightly annoyed.
Why does it matter if I baked the cupcakes or bought them? Who else, but my husband, daughter, or I should care about whether or not my 3 year-old is "practicing" her ABCs at home? Why should I be explaining to anyone that I am not related to what we watch and don't watch on TV? I am nearly ready to politely request that she "Stop asking me the questions!"
Will Mompetition always exist, or can just go about our lives knowing that it takes differ'nt strokes to move the world?!
