Dear Annie: I have a friend who has always been a little competitive, but lately it has become exhausting. Every time I share good news about my child, she immediately brings up something her child has done better. If my son scores a goal, her son scored two. If my daughter gets an award, her daughter got one last year and “didn’t even have to try.”
