I am surrounded by mothers who relate back to me all the compliments their DC receive. AIBU to consider this stealth bragging? Like ''my PIL were saying how very bright they think Dc1 is''. Or ''the HV said dc1 is perfect''. Or even ''Everyone thought DC1's birthdsy was brilliant'' Etc. It is not subtle and very annoying. How to retaliate? Counter bragging does not work (I have tried it and it just gives original bragger the conviction that bragging is permitted).

AIBU?
To be annoyed by mums who pass on second hand compliments about their DC as if that exonorates them from being considered boastful?
