would you be annoyed? am i being annoying? i have a dc at stuyvesant and there's a mom on our floor who has a child in private HS (they tried for hunter and took the shsat...

So whenever we see her, she is always asking about dc and Stuy, how things are going, extracurriculars, etc. And then she always, always, always says something along the lines of "Well, DH went to Hunter and Hunter is a better school, the kids are screened a bit more" and Hunter this and Hunter that and her DH was hanging out with his Hunter friends soon. It's gotten uncomfortable for me, to be honest, so i just smile and say that's great
