I know there have been endless posts about the school run and how some people find others cliquey and bitchy or unapproachable.
I wanted to post to see what others coping mechanisms are. Obviously, if you think the school run is marvellous and great and no problems then don't read on . If however, like me,you do not understand how some people can talk and smile one day and ignore you the next, read on!
My experiences have been mixed since DC started school in September. We knew many mums from preschool so this has helped. However, I am amazed at the apparent ignorance of some other parents. Parents whose kids are in my daughters class. I have pretty low expecatations, ie I am not wanting life long buddies, but why can people now just say 'morning' or 'hello'. It is polite is it not. You see these people every day?
Is this others experience? Is this a British thing? It is hardly suprising some kids are so rude! I always say Good morning or hello if I recognise people. Even people whose kids are not in the same class. Is the school not a community in itself?
Anyway enough rant...how do others cope with this as to be honest some days it beggars belief how people can be so ignorant.....
