What made me think i'd be happier in such a closeted place?? I have fantasies about either being in the middle of nowhere and driving DCs to school for a quick drop off / pick up or living in an anonymous city.
I'm guessing both of those have their problems too.
Everyone tries to interfere, i'm not the most sociable of people. I work from home and get phone calls from other mums wanting to pop round for coffee.
Every day it's can X come back or can i go to Y's house and if i tell my DCs not to ask for a few days i get other folk's DCs asking me.
Yesterday at school there was a scrap between two of DD1s 'friends' (as in not close but same circle iyswim) - the one who started it was hauled over the coals by the school. Last night both of the mums phoned me wanting to speak to DD (who is 8) to find out what happened as she witnessed it and one asked if DD could go in and tell the school with her. Then the other phoned and said the first one was on her way round to speak to DD in person. She went to bed a bit worried tbh an d i think their behaviour was inappropriate (and told them so).
I can't imagine my mum getting a phone call when i was 8 from two of my friend's mums about a scrap - times are odd...
I feel a line has been crossed...
