I have the impression that every class has one (or more) of these. In our case the mother makes up what she doesn't have in terms of social skills and manners and brains with talking very loudly, always shoving her dc into the classroom first squeezing in in front of you, ignoring everyone but the 'inner circle' of class mums and generally being aggressive in her body language.
We are at a quite nice school and although her behaviour stands out she is buddy /buddy with the teachers (she stormed the doors of school on day one to volunteer) and she has made herself part of the 'inner circle' for lack of a better term.
I am afraid of her because she seems volatile and playing a political game where she is. Involved in everything at school. I worry that if she talks badly about me to the other mums I will be ostracised. .
I have no issues with other social spaces (work for example) but some mums at school really seem all about pushing in and taking control.
How can I survive the next many years of primary school as I get really stressed out by people like this.
Am I bu to worry and ask for wise MNetters's top tips to survive the plYground? .
