Mom friend rant

Post Body
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and have had to cease contact with a mom friend. Due to various reasons.
- Super Breast is Best/My parenting is the ONLY WAY. Like refuses to understand that not everyone can exclusively breast feed for 2 years. She will rant about it and due to health issues I may not be able to make it past 6 months (I fed my son for 18 months) She rants about how all formula and premade baby foods are toxic and how we as parents need to make everything going into our babies. However, her kid will only eat sweet foods because that's all she gave her in the beginning because it was easier to mash bananas then to cook the food. She also bashes BLW until the child reaches 9 months or older. She has made the comment that I am allowed to "give up breast feeding" because I breast fed 18 months.
- Financial Shaming: She's told me all their financial woes. Including how if her parents didn't help they wouldn't make it because he doesn't want a better job. She cannot work or go to school due to EBF. My fiancé makes enough where I don't need to work while I finish up my degree. When I began growing this pregnancy and needed new clothes she criticized my spending. Told me I had a spending problem when I bought myself some clothes that fit and that I should have just made do with what I already had or gone to a thrift store. (Mind you I bought everything discounted for like $7 a pair of shorts) Along with how I was buying different things for the new baby on sale, like a ton of items we would go through.
- She made comments on how I wanted to get a job and how I was a bad parent for considering putting the children in daycare for either a job or while I'm in class instead of relying on his dad, Step mom and granny solely for childcare. She told me "You shouldn't have to work, he has a good job, those babies need to be cared for." I wanted a job so we could save more money for some trips we want to go on and for when I graduate and it's time to buy a house.
