I am willing to be told IABU but this really annoyed me...
At a local arts and craft session with my friend and her little girl, my DD wanted to write 'fairy' on her picture (of a fairy!) So she asked me how to spell it, I told her the letters and she wrote them down. My friend commented on how great this was, I just said she's really into letters at the moment, which is true, I don't think it's particularly amazing, it's just what she likes to do.
A few days later we went to their house to play. Instead of ignoring them while we drink coffee leaving them to play on their own, my friend insisted her DD wanted to play her new numbers 'game' which basically involved flashcards with some objects on one side (eg 5 ladybirds) and the number written down on the other side iyswim. She was holding up the cards getting the girls to take turns saying how many were on each card etc. Her DD was shouting out all the answers as soon as she saw the cards while my DD was trying to count them with her finger.
My friend then declared 'I think your DD is better at letters, but my DD is definitely better at numbers!'
I was a bit 
, and just made some comment about them all developing at different rates. I don't think it's right to say in front of either girl at this age that they are not good at something, or to make them feel like they are in competition with each other. Plus it really just felt like my DD had been given a maths test and then told she had failed!
I am still really, irrationally, annoyed about this. However I am also very sleep deprived thanks to DD2's teething and have raging PMT so my viewpoint may be slightly skewed! Is it me or was this a bit off?
