To hate the school gate

[littlebillie]

That's it I hate it!

[WorraLiberty]

Could you give it a lick of paint?

[littlebillie]

I am only there once a week. Bloody tribal!

[MyDarlingClementine]

I hate the school drive but cant do much about that, can you paint it?

[WorraLiberty]

You might have to tell us what the actual problem is eventually OP

I hate guessing games

[littlebillie]

Today was a good example I saw two mums today who I met on the walk to school we have been out together and spent time together. Today I was ignored and they were acting like I had the plague. They couldn't get away faster enough. I know one quite well and feel like sending a text to ask what is wrong. I am just perplexed

[WorraLiberty]

Perhaps they were in a hurry?

Did you walk up to them and say hello?

[Angelfootprints]

Whats the gate ever done to you?

[littlebillie]

We were all collecting our kids heading in the same direction

Some women use the school gate to make themselves feel better.

Well, not the actual gate obviously

But, I have noticed it. They are women with small minds. It takes nothing to smile and be civil...

Ignore them next time!

Were you collecting your kids and heading in the same direction, by any chance?

I would say they were probably gossiping about someone And don't want to have to stop the conversation. Try not to take it personally

[Godessinthemaking]

Used to hate it! Have to agree with everlong that if these people are your friends, then say something! I couldn't have survived without the mums that I knew and still know.

You've all got one purpose, to collect your child and take them home! I never got involved in playground/ school gate politics with people I didn't know, and really couldn't be bothered with it all.

If in doubt, put your big girl pants on, hold your head up high and stand on your own! As much as we all hate to admit it, we've probably been in a similar situation......and are still here to tell the tale

Good luck

I work in the school (also a parent of children at the school) and am so glad not to be part of any of what goes on at our gate!

[MeSoFunny]

I don't understand what it is some people have against a bunch of randomly collected individuals standing around randomly chatting, or not, waiting for their kids to leave school. I am baffled by it.

[Godessinthemaking]

Should have been- we've probably all been in the same situation
