Mum screaming F you at another car outside nursery

I was just picking up my child when I saw another mum exit the nursery with her child.

They were going to a car parked on the road and there was an altercation with another car. The mum was putting her child into her seat and a woman in a car that was passing them, started shouting at the mum for putting her child in her seat in the road.

The mum then proceeded to shout 'F You ' twice to the lady, who then drove off. The mum then looked and me and said sorry and drove off.

AIBU to think this is totally unacceptable outside of a nursery ? Thankfully my child didn't hear, but her child did !

I think I might complain to the nursery. This is just not ok

😂😂

I suspect you’re joking. But what do you think they’d do? Tick her off for saying ‘fuck?’ 😂

I call 100% bullshit.

And what exactly do you expect nursery to do? Stick her in time out? Grow up

Please complain and come back and tell us what happens

Are you joking?

I've seen two women almost regular park on the yellow marking - I reported them they told me to call the CEO

Another lady about a yar ago was videoing a man in a big van that often parked on the yellow markings and I'm guessing she sent the video and she did not hide the fact as went in front of the van etc - the van never parked there again

Halfheadhighlights · 16/05/2024 17:56

well, your child didn’t hear so it’s nothing really to do with you. No one was hurt

She didn’t sound in a good frame of mind, you could have asked if she was ok.

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 16/05/2024 17:56

Pure class!!😂

Just imagine what both of the families are like. I pity those having to live next door, above or below them🙄

Endofthebeginning · 16/05/2024 17:53

Can't believe this is real. Nursery aren't in charge of the parents. There's a reason you're not going to the police about this, adults are allowed to swear.

They can't do anything about something that happened outside of nursery premises.

Get a grip! People swear, you might not like it but they do.

We've received emails before about parents parking on double yellows outside and residents complaining. I'm sure they'll send out an email reminding people to mind how they behave as it's a residential street.

I wouldn't. I think you'd be making a bit of an arse of yourself. Mum was stressed. Driver piled on more stress and she lost her temper. If this hasn't happened to you then you're a better person than most of us but it will come. One day that time will come. 🤣

Because parking on double yellow lines is an offence. Swearing isn't 🙄

And what exactly are the nursery going to do? Police how adults use language outside their building? Unenforceable.

fancyfrogs · 16/05/2024 17:19

🤣 find something better to do seriously

RedRobyn2021 · 16/05/2024 17:13

Dear nursery

Boo boo I saw a mum lose her temper with another mum and swear once, rather than mind my own business and understand people get mad sometimes, I decided to make it in to something in the hopes that you'd send out a passive aggressive email on my behalf

Signed,

An overly concerned parent with nothing better to do

RedRobyn2021 · 16/05/2024 17:10

I mean... given the right circumstances, I'd do the same as her

You sound really prissy

MrsWhites · 16/05/2024 17:07

The nursery are going to laugh you out of there if you complain.

What do you expect them to do, send a newsletter saying ‘please do not say f*ck you in front of the nursery’?

DarkForces · 16/05/2024 17:05

I hope you sign it off 'Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells. That'll learn 'em. Nurseries are completely responsible for the lack in of etiquette from parents after all!

catlady7 · 16/05/2024 17:01

You can't complain. They won't do anything. You can't stop swear words unfortunately. I'd rather my kids learn from me than anyone else. Fuck is a great word

It's legal to park on double yellows though. Not so much to have a little swear!

Show quote history

oops sorry just seen your next post - ignore this one

RookieMa · 16/05/2024 16:59

People swear get over it

PossumintheHouse · 16/05/2024 16:58

Go on then, complain to the nursery. They'll only laugh at you behind your back.

It's 'fuck' twice. Not exactly music to the ears, but I can think of worse trauma.
