Scenario

When friend groups create toxic parenting competition

Our playgroup has turned into this weird competitive thing where parents are constantly comparing whose toddler is more advanced or better behaved, and my friend and I both feel like it's affecting how we see our own kids. We want to say something but we're not sure how to address it without seeming judgmental.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Community spaces meant to support parents can become arenas where our deepest insecurities about raising children get amplified.
