Competitive Mommies

Okay- I have to share this story, because I find it to darn funny not too.

So, yesterday- DH had a managers meeting with all his co-Managers for Citi Bank. Well, there is one co-worker of his who is a "Competitive Mommy" apparently. She had her DD 1 month before we had our DS "Frankie". So therefore her DD is 6 1/2 Months right now. Well, since she still has to work full-time, she has her DD in a Child Care here named "Kids R Kids" or as she referred to it as "The Learning Center" She was going on and on to DH about all the "milestones" her DD has reached and wanted to compare her to our DS. She was like "well, my DD is crawling all over the place, she can even count to 10 in Spanish, she even understands when I tell her it's time to go to "School" (child care, aka "The Learning Center"). She then proceeds to ask DH what "Frankie" has been up too... so he thinks for a minute and responds with "well, basically he is drooling all over himself and crapping his pants every now and again." DH comes home and goes "honey, you aren't going to believe this...but "Frankie at 5 Months is already BEHIND in his skills... You need to kick it up a notch", being that he is home with me each day as a SAHM. I was like- OKAY... I doubt highly that her kid can count to 10 in Spanish....
I just find it hilarious that DH had his 1st encounter with a "Competitive Mommy"
Thanks for letting me share

ILOVE YOUR DH RESPONSE!!!!

Too funny!!! MAybe she is ready for college!!! Who cares they are babies let them be babies!

When you apply to college no one cares when you crawled or when you were potty trained!

Re: Competitive Mommies

Re: Competitive Mommies

I cannot stand competitive mommies. What baby on EARTH could count to ten in spanish at that age?

To even imply that is soooo pathetic

Re: Competitive Mommies

I can't stand these woman...I mean, what's the deal???

Re: Competitive Mommies

Oy, I can't stand those mommies!! Just let your baby be a BABY for god's sake! Great answer on your hubby's part!

Re: Competitive Mommies

Love your DHs response!!

I can't stand that competitive attitude some people have (and it's not limited to mommies!)

Re: Competitive Mommies

I love your husbands response and if your son is behind in his "skill" then I guess my daughter is way way way way behind. She is 20 months and just learned how to count to 10 and she doesn't always get it right so what gives these mommies annoy me I have a friend thats a competitive mommy and I avoid conversations with her about our children like I avoid the plague

Re: Competitive Mommies

Oh, one last thing I nearly forgot.... DH said how her DD has been learning sign languge as well. All I could say to this is that DS too knows Sign Languge....

Take a look
