To think my friends comments are unnecessary

Have known my friend for 11 years. We used to get on great however soon after she met her now DH things have changed. Don't know how to explain it but she's sooo above everyone ..
She always compares her life to everyone's and seems to think whatever they do as a couple is always the right/ best thing.

One example being after both of us had boys .. she used to say how the next one better be a girl as she wants one of each and how that's a "perfect family" (her words)

Anyway I just had a DD after my son and soon after she fell pregnant with her second .. well .. she's just found out that they're expecting another boy .. so during our coffee date she said that they're super happy and that her and her DH think that having 2 boys is the best! And how upset they would've been if they were expecting a girl .. "girls are awful and I would hate to have one .. can't stand little girls" "ohh and teenage girls who would want them .."

Ahhhmmm wtf? Saying those things to me as I'm holding my DD 🙈🙈

Might be my hormones but I've had enough of this whatever they do is just the best and that's it ..
she compared her car to mine the other day ( both 4x4) saying she's read that hers is better .. what was she expecting me to say to that?!!!
Am I going crazy? Is it my hormones & should I calm down or is this not a normal friend..?

@LadyEloise1 you still did the right thing.

Ask her "why are you so insecure? Instead of wanting to compare everything, can't you just enjoy what you have same I as enjoy what I have?"

She’s protesting too much.

She’s clearly jealous you had what she had wanted, and now is trying to convince herself it’s not all that.

However, it’s pretty sad she feels this way for her and her dss. I’d ignore if you can, and see less of her.

I’ve got one of each and can see the pros and cons to that and having all the same - ultimately, every child is an individual and not just a product of their sex!
