Me and my close friend have ds's the same age (6). We are very different in our parenting in that friend is very ambitious with her ds, has always given him extra academic lessons at home and is basically trying to raise a genius. I'm really laid back about that kind of stuff. She does go on a bit about how clever her ds is, how advanced for his age he is, what his latest report has said, how he is top in everything at school etc. TBH it can get quite boring and I find it quite crass to be continually boasting about your own ds. But I just smile and let her get on with it.

Lately though, she has started correcting my ds as he sometimes mispronounces a certain letter. TBH, I've never thought of it as a problem, the only time I've corrected him is if we are actually sounding out words for homework. It's quite minor though, I think he'll just grow out of it and tbh I don't want to draw attention to it or make him feel conscious about it.

AIBU to think she's over stepping the mark by correcting him? Surely that's my job and at my discretion?

Also ROFLing at "sun made of egg" That's exactly the sort of thing my DS would come out with, bless him.
