Perhaps you haven't added enough info here, but isn't it possible her child is gifted? Maybe she is boasting which rubbed you the wrong way but as a gifted community, I feel we need to stand together and support each other. How many of us complain that we get treated as pushy parents and learn quickly to keep our mouths shut, but wish our society wouldn't treat us this way. Could this woman just not have gotten the memo? Again, it is very possible that she is a pushy mom, but with what you wrote, I don't really see evidence of it. Pushing or not ... a child under the age of two knowing sight words is impressive. However, as I typed that I remember that infomericial for My baby can read or something. If this mom is one of those ... than you have a valid point.
