Seems a big chunk of moms do it and it's really starting to piss me off. Ds is a few months older than some of his friends. Their mom's are always commenting on things he can do that theirs can't and the next time I see them it's usually obvious they've been trying to teach dc this new thing. Their kids can do things my son can't but I don't get competitive over it and let them develop at his own pace.
Also my ndn is always going on about how her sons feet are bigger than my son. He's 9 months older 
. Today she laughed and how funny it looked that his feet were so much bigger. It hit a nerve today and I replied saying that not really considering the age gap and that it's mad there's not much of a height difference between them. She didnt reply. I'm just starting to get sick of it and disappointed that it's making me petty.
So come on, why the fuck do moms do this?
AIBU?
to get annoyed when people compare my kid to theirs?

Lol Icannever... I had that with ndn too 
. Ds was walking along saying 'two four six nine' and I laughed and said 'hes obsessed with numbers at the mo'. That was all and she replied 'ds was exactly the same, he can count to 20 now'... As if he'd just won the Nobel prize for maths! . Everything my ds does? Hers did too... And usually did it better!
When I had dd a few weeks ago and she came to visit, she was holding her but only looking at her ds for his reaction to her and only commenting how cute his reaction was it was bizarre! He asked if he could hold her (he's 2.5) and she said 'you'll have to ask helenhen' 
ehhh... NO!
