Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I want to break it off with an old friend. Her narcissism and judgemental and critical nature are just too much for me to take. It was bad when we were in our 20's but now that we're in our 30's with children (we each have 2) I just can't take it anymore. How should I go about this?

OP- I've been friends with this person a long time. Has anyone else been through this? Did you just stop doing things with them or did you still spend some time with them to avoid the conflict? Every time I'm with her I come home seething. Wished my college friends lived close by! The only good thing about the situation is it is making me be less critical of others because I see how truly ugly and ridiculous it is to criticize other parents. I vowed this morning to work really hard at this from now on!

See her less, don't tell her anything, and when she says something hurtful to you, poit it out in a jokey way. Like. "Ouch, that really hurts!" or, "if someone said that about me, I would be so upset.."
[ Reply | More ]Limit contact, make new friends to hang out with more and more and just simply concentrate on moving on. Friendships sometime do have a lifespan. She doesn't want to hear that she's narcissistic, judgemental, and has a critical nature and that you want to break it off. She will just turn it around and you will be the crazy freak.
