You know those people who just have to turn everything into a competition?
You mention getting a new car, and they casually remind you that they just bought ahouse.
But imagine if that person wasnt just competing with you…but with your baby.
Yeah, let that sink in.
Thats exactly what one frustrated new dad on Reddit is dealing with.
From that moment on, sis decided that her baby was officially the superior one.
And then came the battle of the milestones.
Every single thing the OPs baby did was met with an instant My baby did that ages ago!
Because nothing says supportive family like one-upping an infant.
That was it; OP snapped.
Because parenting is hard enough without unnecessary competition.
But heres the thing: parenting isnt a race, and kids develop at their own pace.
The best way to deal with competitive parents?
Nod, smile, and then go back to raising yourkidyour way.
Their obsession with winning will fizzle out when they realize no one else is keeping score.
Some relatives just cant stand seeing someone else in the spotlight, even when it comes to babies.
So how do you handle them?
First, set boundaries.
If someones constantly undermining your experiences, shut it down.
Second, dont take the bait.
Jealous family members want a reactiondont give them the satisfaction.
Just keep being happy.
Nothing annoys a bitter person more than someone who refuses to let their negativity win.
