While we can easily pick out the competitive mom in others, it may be time for a little self-evaluation of our own. Probably all moms are guilty of this at one time or another.

There is nothing wrong with being proud of our children and sharing their accomplishments with others. It is when we start to brag or feel they have special entitlements that we have gone the wrong direction. So make sure that you are not falling into that same competitive mom trap.

Handling Competitive Moms

Competitive moms are just moms who want the best for their children. They may be going about it the wrong way, but their intentions are clearly for the best. With patience, being a good example and sharing your feelings if necessary, you can better handle the next competitive mom who comes your way.
