I have a very good friend who I've known most of my life. We're very close, can talk to each other about anything, even things we strongly disagree on. We're both single parents, each have a daughter and we spend a lot of time together. I love her dearly.
Her daughter is a little over 2 and is a fairly normal 2 year old. But since she started talking, my friend has started with Facebook posts about what her daughter says. She's a very regular FB poster, (7-8 posts a day) whereas I'm quite reserved with it and use it mainly for chat in private groups.
What's really started irritating me is that from what she's 'recounting' in her posts, you'd think her DD was writing sonnets. Things like "oh how cute is X? Was just washing the dishes and she came in and said:" followed by several long and complex sentences, often with fairly long words in. As I've said, I spend a lot of time with my friend and her daughter and her DD, like most children her age, can say 2-3 word simple sentences.
Perhaps some people would consider me a bad friend for letting something like this irritate me but I think it's because I feel like this one thing is something I can't really talk to her about. I can't exactly say "X isn't nearly as advanced with her speaking as your FB posts suggest, why do you feel the need to exaggerate her abilities so much?"
WIBU to try to approach this with her? Some people have started making snide remarks about it in front of me but the most I can do is ask them not to say things like that while I'm around because what they're saying it completely true.
