Hi there,
Just wondered what people made of this and if anybody has any useful advice.
I have a friend who's daughter is 2 months you younger than my dd ( my dd is 10 months) and right from the start she's been very competitive. In the last ten months I've had 3 prams because I do a lot of walking, but I'm quite small so I've been looking for a light one for me to lift. Every pram I've ever had, she's brought one. Right down to pram liners, toys hanging from the pram, she's brought these too. Literally, everything I buy for my dd ( right down to her weaning spoons) is the same.
When my dd was born she had reflux and had to be prescribed medicine & SMS stay down milk, & she even went to the drs for her own daughter saying she had reflux ( when she didn't) to have the same formula as me . She used to be somebody who I thought of as a friend, but it's getting me down a bit, as she often turns up at my house unannounced & seems more interested in nosing around & saying ' I might get my dd that, I might have my kitchen like that, I might get a new car (as I got one) and I feel it's a shame because its affecting friendship.
At first I felt flattered a bit, but now its annoying- I love the dds playing together, which is why I keep the friendship, but I hate how competitive she's got- how do I deal with this? This friend is buying everything I have & doesn't care how much money she spends to get the same. It's all getting a bit odd!!!! Advice appreciated....
