I admit...I tell my girl she is being a weirdo and funny, and a monkey. I also ask questions about the other kids (more because I like to understand there personalities). I too may be an annoying DC mom. Food for thought for me.
As for the couple that seem to be comparing...they are...and it is because they have low parent self esteem. I imagine this is their first child? Let's just hope they have more so you get more business, and they are far too busy to keep track of what the 'Jones' are doing. LOL
