Moms who know better than you
Find a Conversation

Kind of joking there. But the other day I met a mom who was certain she knew which area schools were the best. I told her my children are happily in public school, but upon entering middle school and/or upon entering 8th grade, if any of mine wants, then we'll take a tour of all of the schools in the area ~ private, several Catholic. Not a Catholic, lol, she told me unequivocally that, yes, I needed to take my children on a tour of the local Catholic schools NOW because they are the best schools in the area. Because of course her kids went there. Her children graduated from high school long ago, but I never quite got my answer on what they were all doing now. 
Anyway, the "conversation" (monologue?) continued until my friend saw me cornered. Has this kind of thing happened to you ~ older mom telling you how to do it better? How do you handle moms with children older than yours who are a little too liberal and pushy with their advices? ....Have you ever been that mom?

Tsk tsk thardy, fibbing again! Nobody said there was anything wrong with doing things that cost money and mocking other peoples choices is not nice, tsk tsk.

Like what, examples please.

Your parents didn't give you a choice, do you give your children a choice?

Interesting, your make believe story has grown legs and now includes friends or rather gaggles of kids, which of course is so different from the reality of what is being discussed.

I heard trumpets playing clear over here....did you hear them?
PumpkinAngel
I believe the only person pointing fingers at what is wrong and right in parenting is, well....you.
PumpkinAngel
Who are "THOSE" parents and why are you again shouting? Thardy is the one who has introduced the gaggle of children into her chapters of fictional comments, you realize that....right?
PumpkinAngel
Well no, because you said that you would have to buy clothing to go on this walk and then you diverted to swings, ducks, icecream...really anything you could grasp onto, all to prevent having to agree with bord, sav or myself. It was quite the journey you took.
