Does anyone know anyone who believes their child can do no wrong and won't hear a bad word against them? If so, how do you deal?

I have recently just started nodding in agreement and changing the subject as I'm finding it terribly frustrating.

For context: Friend's child outwardly boasting and being rather obnoxious. I point it out as other kids are getting a bit tired of it. Parent of said child has fully witnessed yet insists another child must have provoked such a reaction somehow.

Child rolls eyes and says "Oh no, not chicken again for dinner!" quite comically to which we all laugh, so quite memorable. Subject comes up again and parent insists child didn't say that, only the other kids moaned about the dinner.

Little fall outs over toys etc. Parent insists that it couldn't have been their child as she wouldn't fall out over toys.

A mildly rude word is said by child which adults hear, all kids giggle etc. Parent insists another child must have encouraged him to say it etc

All small stuff, but beginning to get terribly irritating and frustrating.
Am also thinking how on earth will the parent cope when they finally realise that the child isn't an angel.

You meet without kids if you are good friends , or you cool down the meet ups.

Tbh I couldn't deal with that shit, my best friendships started from bonding over what dicks our kids are.

Yes there's a school mum like this. Her child and mine get into trouble for fighting. Her child was simply waving his arms around and fell into the other child! Teacher reported punches thrown. My child severely disciplined, her child nothing.

Her child purposely pushes my younger dd over. No harm done, it happens, Child not made to say sorry, mums response was her child must have seen my child do it- absolute rubbish my child had not pushed.

I avoid her like the plague and make excuses for any play date she suggests. Polite to her but never get on the subject of dcs. She seems a lot better these days though so I think she might have figured out what her and her child are like and why they are avoid by most people.
