Show Off Mom

My daughter is in preschool. Now, I've encountered my share of annoying and boastful mothers in my day, but this woman seriously takes the cake. Today, we were looking over the presentation chart for where the kids are going to stand for their holiday program on Saturday. My daughter is all the way on the end, to the left (which didn't surprise me because she refuses to sing and at3 years old, I don't really want to expect all that much out of her)...but since her daughter is just *so* special in every way, when I point out to her where her daughter is going to be, she states, "oh good the middle, the most perfect place"...oh ok, so I guess no one else's kids deserve that space as much as *she* does, eh? This woman slays me...she is constantly talking about how brilliant her daughter is in every way. On the first day of class, she encouraged her daughter to go write her name in front of everyone so that the mother could hear all the "wow's" to stroke her own ego. It was obvious the daughter was hesitant to do so, but she did. I don't get mom's that want to do that to their kids...they aren't performance animals....geez! So, I try to avoid her daily...but lately, she's been trying to talk to me...perhaps I have the most virgin of ears when it comes to hearing all about how great he kid is. LOL
