To me, it's one of the lesser good things about being female (not all women are this way). And, if you'll observe-- women who are mothers (not all mothers) get quite high and mighty and competitive when it comes to raising children.
(Boy, am I going to get a whupping for this comment).
I'll say that where children are involved EVERYBODY has an opinion and usually lets it be heard. Mothers can be competitive about it, but I think that's more about hiding their own perceived inadequacies. But when you say something like that in the context of this thread, it sounds like you are downplaying the outrage by blaming it on women being harsh on one another, when really the outrage is entirely justified.
I am not downplaying the act this woman did to get her daughter Hannah Montana tickets. What she did was dumb and insensitive. But I have empathy for her.
Those of you who are so outraged by her actions can't throw the woman a crumb of kindness. Geez, I've done dumb things in my day and was always grateful for those who didn't revile me for it.
