Mostly for the Women, but Guys I would like to hear what you think about us too

Ladies, why are we always in competition with each other? Why do we "HATE" on each other the way we do? I am now a stay at home mom and I do not interact with other females as much anymore but I remember being in a callcenter with the majority of women and there was always someone talking about the other. Spreading gossip about another and just generally never having anything good to say about another. I found that since I was the type to go to work be cordial and stay out of all their workplace gossip, there was more of a reason for them to talk about me. I promise I was never mean or rude I simply stayed to myself. I have this one "friend" whom it seems like she is always in competition with me. I got married so she got married. I purchased a house she said she purchased a house (I later found out that she did not she was renting), it doesn't stop there either, our daughters are near the same age (which is the only reason we still associate) and If I say my daughter is reading at a 3rd grade level she will say her daughter is reading at a 5th, so now I say nothing. To me its the "crabs in a barrel" mentality and it really burns me sometimes. Why are some women like this? Do you have any friends like this? I give a plus for all quality responses.
