Another mother that i am freindly with at my sons primary school, I'll call her Kate, made a comment this afternoon:
(a bit of background) DS1 11yrs started at independent secondary in september, my youngest DS 7yrs is in the same class as her son. I was taking her son home with us after school for tea. DS1 was with me at pick up time as his school had an 'occassional day' (like an inset day). Anyway Kate made a negative quip about him having a day off, was very about his school having an ocasional day, i told her it was like an inset day.
But what she said next stunned me, "Hasn't he got a small head, it's tiny" She cupped her hands to show the shape and size of his head. "So tiny". I said nothing, and my DS1 nudged me in the ribs.
My DS has always been the smallest in the class, he does have a slight build, and his face and head are in proportion to this but I feel she picked this out. It was another negative comment, but this time about his appearence rather than about his school.
I have two questions if anyone can help: What should I have said to back up my DS (that is my main concern). And secondly, what do you think is going on with her?
