Anyone else find it super irritating when people talk about your kids in front of your kids.

My elderly mother lives with my wife, our 4 year old daughter and I and does this constantly. And it brings back memories of her doing that to me and my sister when I was a child. It's such a strange feeling.For example if my daughter starts singing - which she is prone to do - my mother can't help but yell "wow she really loves to put on a show, look at how she does those moves, wow she is really something, she is going to be a famous dancer, you gotta put her in dance classes etc... " but my daughter is standing there, and she looks awkward like just waiting for her to stop and I pretty much have to leave the room I get so annoyed.Anyway maybe it's just me, writing this down makes me feel pretty petty.But I dislike when strangers do it too, like walk up and say "she is so cute" and even my daughter is starting to say "no I'm not". I had one guy who was talking about her to me "she's really smart, cute etc.." and my daughter glared at him and the guy turns to me and says with a touch of hostility "you are really going to have a handful with her" and I'm like why not just fuck off. Why do people talk about kids like they are pets or something. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/35URg5t
