OK so we all have them.  Friends that when you tell that your baby did something that you are really excited about that turn around and say well my baby has been doing that FOREVER and yours is behind.  WHAT? 

Are these women serious?  What is the big deal?  Every child develops at a different rate.  Just because Suzy Jo is rolling over doesnt mean that Billy Bob should be doing it too. 

I had an acquantance that even her child getting teeth was a big competition.  She would text everyone and email everyone in her address books and brag about this several times a month.  WHO CARES?  I mean great for you!  Great for your baby!  But is it really something that you have to try to piss people off with?  Is it really that big of a deal that your child has hair over their ears now and Jane down the road doesnt?

So moms…next time your baby does something exciting relish in it.  Do not let someone that is mean spirited bring you down.  Always remember their life has to be pretty pittiful to be trying to bring someone else down by something as childish as pitting your children against each other on who’s doing what first.
