Why do some parents insist on competing over who has the most intelligent/good-looking/ talented/funniest/sweet natured child?
And it starts so young!
I was asked today if my son had started crawling yet! He's 6 months old!! Apparantly, her bundle of joy was walking at 8 months.
Does that make me and my son inferior to her and her offspring?
Another Mum proudly announced that she started weaning her child at 6 weeks, and why hadn't I started sooner?
Why can't people just enjoy their babies and stop trying to make them grow up so fast? Don't children grow up too quickly anyway?

Their babies might do weaning and walking, but I bet they don't laugh out loud like Sam! (Plus he's far cuter than them and I've never met them....and he's got me as an Aunty - what more could a child want?!)
Thing is Nic, we have always been very uncompetative. Even if we were good at something (can't think of an example right now!), we wouldn't have pushed ourselves forward and Mum & Dad certainly wouldn't have done.
Do remember recently they talked about how they wished they'd pushed us forward more at the Army?
Also, Grandma & Grandad Ord and Grandma & Grandad Watson, would never shout about/show off about stuff we did. But we knew they were proud. That's what mattered.
I think I'd take a leaf out of their book.
Yes, I agree! Enjoy, enjoy , enjoy. It really does go SO fast even when you do let things develop at their own pace.
I've just been hugging my new nieces...oh they are tiny!
