Ladies: how do you deal with other moms who like to one up you or take subtle jabs at your parenting?Examples: "Oh, you're only breastfeeding for one year?" "Oh, you're not making all your own baby food?" "I don't want to step on your toes, but..."These are real ones I have gotten recently! I have a real problem deflecting these partly because I like criticism because I feel that I can use it to improve myself. However, I am aware that a lot of criticism isn't intended to help someone but rather to make the commenter feel superior (the above comments all came from the same person who I consider to be a narcissist.)So, how can I respond to these types of comments and still feel good about myself? In other words, how can I talk about things I do well while not coming across as overly reactive or sensitive? I am an introvert and this is super challenging for me. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2FUGRt1
