ok, a group of us got together a few days ago, some with dc, some not.
A couple of the group had only recently had babies so for some this was the first opportunity to introduce the babies to the others.
Anyway, one of the group who is on her 3rd dc is very 'in your face' to say the least with the babies, constantly calling their name to gain attention (especially with my Goddaughter whom she thinks she should have been Godmother to, but thats another story)she constantly tries to take the babies from you when having a cuddle and generally be centre of attention. She takes her dc3 around to everyone expecting attention from everyone and for him to be centre of attention also. The thing that drove me mad more this time is that one of the girls recently had her first, had a really rough time poor thing and I think is quite shaken by it all and is still delicate mentally. Said person was quizzing her about the labour and birth which obviously made my friend uncomfortable and then basically stood there and told her not to be so pathetic - her labour was FAR worse than that (which it wasn't - i know). She is the sort that if someone needed 2 stitches she needed her fanjo replacing! Am i unreasonable to want to stuff her mouth with something to shut her up!

By your account I would have been fed up with her too. And probabyl would have said a cleverly cutting remark to shut her up.

But then I can be a bitch soemtimes

I wish I had now but sadly she is one of DH's relatives so no doubt would have caused a whole heap of hassle by doing so.

Although us 1st time mums need to know others have had rough labours/deliveries there is definately a knack to doing it without offending and upsetting.
I love my ds being centre of attention and love it when he getting all the fuss but it's not fair to force it, especially in a situation like that.
Sounds like your friend must be very insecure and in order to make herself feel good and important she has to do all she can to belittle those around her.
I had a friend that was like that.
