I would have felt just as hurt as you did. Why can't people just be nice. And if not nice, then at least civil! I haven't had the pleasure (????) of experiencing the school run yet as Joshua doesn't go until September this year - and actually I think it might be hubby who does drop off - depends if I'm still commuting to work. I doubt the men who do school drop off's get involved in all this bitchiness!

I refuse to take my daughter to baby groups where I have to stay because mothers in my hometown are so cliquey (one of the reasons I want to move before she starts school). <br /><br />I love how you plan to tackle it, it makes me smile and I think it's really brave.

The worst is that first one, who by her rudeness was being rude to your children in turn, and show her own children that rude behavior is the way to go. What a beast.

I know what you mean, their negativity causes us to look for causes within ourselves that probably aren't even there. I'm definitely guilty of it, I come up with reasons like; she doesn't like me because I live in a house joined on to my parents and they don't think I have to work for anything (sadly very untrue).

It seems to be that I get dragged into things even when I've done my level best to stay out. It's pretty much inevitable. I was horribly bullied at school too, I think it probably makes me a little extra sensitive to the subject. But I think it's better to be that way. I hate to think of my girls picking on someone, the damage it does can be devastating.<br /><br />I HATE it when people move things! It drives me so bats! Did you huff and puff and let it be known? I'm notorious for that one. How did you manage without the school shoes?

I sometimes wonder if we're stuck in this cycle because some people are just incapable of growing up, and therefore teach they're children to be the same way, which then rubs off on our children. Perhaps I'm overthinking it. But I refuse to be like that. I not treating like for like, I'm carrying on regardless and they can all bog off! Ha!

Some mothers go out of their way to be unfriendly and never invite my daughter over although their child has been to my house several times. I always take it personally and think it's because we don't have a car or have ugly carpet so we're not good enough, when the truth is probably something quite different. <br />But really, sod them.

I even asked my mum if it was like that when she used to take me to school as I had no idea at all. <br />I got bullied at school so I've always made sure my daughters know how horrible it is and never to do it so when it comes to being at school I try to be Switzerland but some mum's make it so hard. Talk to one group, the other thinks your saying nasty things, talk to the other and the other thinks your spying. It's just awful. <br />We had a terrible school run as well. Was all going so well until his mum does her usual things of moving everything I got ready so we have to play a game of hide and seek and end up late. We still never found her school shoes.<br />Hope it gets better for you, some mums are just complete bitches!<br /><br />Rhiannon xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309053407798253120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146496770248548130.post-66409063352780752052013-02-25T10:39:34.987+00:002013-02-25T10:39:34.987+00:00Oh and I love your future response!
