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?

No need to be nasty PKA.
<<Do you want me to go and ask these people and not here? lololol>>
You don't know anything about the lives of these "different" people you "claim" to know, you have to go and ask? Well then, I guess you don't know them very well...
<<Not really, there isn't any extra money in any of those free things.
Which free things?>>
The ones I mentioned, that you clearly didn't bother to read but had to disagree with anyway. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Why do you assume that bords kids will try and sell the house? Why did you assume that a kitchen remodel is going to be a burden on anyone when it clearly wasn't a burden on you?

I think she makes a lot of sense, your posts however....not so much.

Then I'm sorry, I hope you can find memories that don't have money tied to them. Best of luck.

You go on for post after post about how wonderful your area because everything is so close and etc and you can't come up with a single example of making a free or low cost memory in your area? Wow.
Hmmmm.....maybe walking and if you are not going to buy something on the way and the library as you don't use much gas to get there and back. Your examples were the same way but you just did not want to see it that way.
You are a broken record.
Where? Is this another one of your made up (mean) stories like earlier when you said I wasn't going to be a parent to my kids when they turned 18 and moved out of the house?
