Moms one up-ing each other- anon post for a member

Mean girls grow up to be mean moms...sometimes they never grow out of their bully mentality and feel the need to make others feel bad to make them feel better about themselves. Don't take it personally, just smile, shake your head, ignore and continue talking to your precious son

I agree! However I would probably say something back...

For example if the parent said "Oh, I would never pack that"
I'd say "Well it's a good thing you aren't packing MY child's lunch then isn't it?"

...if I was feeling really mean, I'd probably say something like "Well, then we're even because I would NEVER wear that in public" and point to her shirt/shoes....etc. After all, if she feels that she has the right to judge me (and make comments about it) she better expect the same in return.
