I disagree. I think it comes from their feeling insecure.

I agree that coming right out, when asked, is the correct policy. "Well, she started reading at 2, so she's all about books... She's re-reading Harry Potter for the I don't know how manyth time. She loves that series" and then you stay and see who "sticks". Who gets it enough to not immediately start comparing their child to yours, and criticizing you for their experience.

I've found that as the moms get older, and more experienced, and their children start having academic strengths and weaknesses and LDs, and social trouble, and etc, that it gets easier.

Hang in there. It's very isolating.
