Mum screaming F you at another car outside nursery

This reminded me of the time my son (six at that time) heard swearing on the bus and stood up i asked him what he was doing and he said "im going to tell those bigger boys off one of them said fuck and there are kids on this bus" 😂

Paaaaaaahahahaahahahahahahaha

Ah the language Anglo Saxon shall ner be forgotten cos the French when they invaded sent it underground.... Oh how we still get upset about its use today, many centuries later... I think we all need to be Gen X about it and stop giving a sh1t about the use of Anglo Saxon!

@unicornlady I more concerned about the behaviour not the language. She shouldn't have been putting her in roadside but it happens so 1st mum was ooo saying anything, 2nd was ooo reacting as she did but we all have our crosses to bear so maybe she was having a bad day.

Best to smile and move on methinks.

Why? What are they going to do?

you sound so incredibly precious.

two women had an altercation - you weren’t involved so stay out of it.

@Kesio exactly! Happens in private schools as well! OP is going to get a shock in the real world!

I’d mention to the nursery, one mum at DS’s school was very belligerent. She now has to do pick ups and drops offs at another gate just off the school property. Much less stressful without the risk of her kicking off.

Totally agree but people are usually encouraged to involve 'the school' in their parking spats outside school etc..

lol is that a joke? My grown up ds was in reception in a private school years ago and a classmate said fuck!

Just leave it. People are bastards and they always will be. Someone spat on my dh at a train station today. Dh thinks it might be because the man wanted 2 seats to himself, but dh had sat by the man (taking only about 3/4 of one seat) because he was knackered and needed to rest.

What you need to teach your child is to get away from people who behave like this.

Unless she's going to home school I'd say!

Good Luck when your DC starts school OP! You'll hear much worse than this (unless you're going to privately educate your child!) Ha!

What on earth have the poor nursery staff got to do with it? What do you expect them to do? Send an email out saying “please don’t say fuck you to the other parents at pickup time, thank you”?!

Just move on with your life.

I wouldn’t swear in front of nursery (unless some fucking twat pissed me off telling me how I should/shouldn’t strap my child in the car seat - usually parking outside nursery is quite limited and stressful so you take what you can get, there isn’t usually time for a 3 point turn to ensure you’re in the “right way”) - but I would be pretty affronted if the nursery thought they could dictate how I spoke off of their property! It’s none of their business, and tbh it’s none of your business.

you cannot control things people do or say around your child in these scenarios

Why is everyone so pressed about swear words still?

Your child will hear them. If you don’t like it, teach them not to use them.

I personally have bigger things to worry about

Oh for fucks sake 🤣

Get over yourself.

What an awful woman.

Imagine mouthing off at a mother getting her kids in the car.

Our nursery has on street parking. Most families have more than one DC and so have to put one in on the roadside. Fortunately I've never seen anyone being anything other than careful and patient.

Don't really blame the mum for losing her rag, pickup is awful with tired parents and overtired children. Absolute last thing she needed.

Op I would leave it alone, she's maybe had an awful day, is at her wits end, was distracted and didn't think through her parking or was seriously under pressure to get dc and being yelled at in front of her children pushed her over the edge. If it's a regular occurrence then that's one thing but for a one off I'd give her a bit of grace and cut her some slack. Next time you have an awful day and lose your temper I imagine you'd hope someone would do you the same courtesy.

No of course she doesn't...

It's the naughty step she wants....

What is the point of complaining? She apologised to you, therefore she knows it was inappropriate. Nothing to be gained from complaining.

If I see someone putting their child in a car seat and the doors open....if I can, I just wait or drive slowly pass.

Don’t bloody report her fgs you tell tale!! Yeh it was inappropriate but you have literally zero idea what is going on for her. Plus what do you want the nursery to do? Put her in the naughty corner??

See I'm sure my oldest son used to use 'fork' funny for years to get away with saying fuck , maybe .Mind you he used to say baff funny as well , it wasn't how any of us pronounce it 😂.Oh just to add he was a pad brat so maybe it was part of it .

Either put your big girl pants on and address the mother directly, or don't.

She may well, as I have, had an utter fuckwank of a day. Another driver being a cunt would've finished me.

I would bet money that she was mortified afterwards. You crack on and complain though. Remember though, it might be you next time.

It's not great but she was probably having a really fucking shit day

I'm not the calmest of drivers when someone cuts me up and I have sworn at drivers before with my children in the car (who tell me off quite rightly). I'm pretty sure she doesn't feel like the best parent in the world right now anyway and could have been having a bad day. Either way, it's nothing to do with the nursery is it?
