I have managed to keep some old friendships that I treasure by not discussing children. I listen attentively at how well their kids are doing, I comment positively as well, then I talk about something else. I will not get dragged into comparisons, and most times that's not their intentions either.

I think ALL our kids are gifted...God gave each one of us something special, and also some obstacles to overcome along the way.
