Being laughed at on the School Run

I think at that level I'd just ignore it, simply because they haven't said anything directly to you.
Imagine having a go at them for singing a song, laughing and looking at you funny and it turned out to be unrelated! You would be labelled a weird narcissist forever more!

The mummy mafia are out in full force I see… I have come to the conclusion that they genuinely have nothing better to do with themselves, if you know in your heart that you have nothing to worry about, don’t let them get to you! I know that it is easier said than done, it took me a while, but once you get that mindset, you might start singing the chorus for them! Hope you are okay! Your stronger than you think ❤️

They've turned you into a running joke for some reason. You don't know them and they certainly don't know you, so it's not the real you they are insulting, more some cardboard cutout who only exists in their minds. Ignore them.

Yes Completely Concur With You & Exactly What I Mentioned Too
Huge Compliment Most Surely 🤗

I want to say F them they're DHs. But they sound unhinged to me.

I'd be a little wary of them too.

Can you do the school run with other mums?

YA definitely NBU. They are cretins.

They are childish, and are jealous of you.

I’ve had it from a woman, who made it clear she didn’t like me, for no reason I could think of, apart from my face.

One summer I met her alone as we crossed in through the school gate. She actually stood still, looked me up and down and laughed.

I was stunned.

I was wearing some khaki M&S cropped loose linen trousers, and a black t shirt I think, it was really hot.

Nothing ill fitting, and fairly non descript, not really worthy of any positive or negative comment, but cool on a really hot day

Who does this except someone with serious psychological problems? I’ve always thought it was her problem, and not mine.

Horrible bitches, the worst thing is they are role modelling their bullying behaviour to their children, what hope do they have

They’ll only upset you if you allow them to - they are mean girls and not worth the bother. Perhaps they think you look like Kylie - I’d put up with the chortles if I looked like Kylie especially in gold hot pants!

Since hitting my 40's I've given less and less of a fuck about what anyone thinks of me as the years go on. If someone wants to go out of their way to make themselves look completely ridiculous for my benefit, then go ahead. I'd be almost flattered that anyone can be bothered tbh!

I would probably just laugh in their faces if they were doing something daft (like the Kylie thing) or do the classic stare through them - you do not exist.

I would just pretend they're not there, completely ignore them and never look at them, even if they're right in front of you. They clearly have the same age mentality as their children!

Not rtft but I'd have spun around on cue..... my daughter goes to seriously one of the most deepest darkest wiltshire village schools in the county (the cliques are horrendous - oh darling where are your Hunter wellies?) but I just ignore all that..it took from reception until about year 1 but now they all confide in me because I am what I am...lol.....play them at their own game...with the amount of shit I know about each of them now they wouldn't dare piss me off..rise above them OP, they are just twats xx

i know a lot of people would say ignoring them would be the best thing and I wish I could be that person but I struggle to control my facial expressions for things like this so I would look at them in disgust next time I saw them or laugh back at that them🤣 I love catching people out especially people being mean like this for no reason. They will not expect you to laugh at them. They seem the bully type!

They sound like a pair of absolute clowns , however if they think u resemble Kylie then I would take that as a huge compliment . I think she’s stunning x

Sending you a huge hug. What a tedious, irritating deeply unpleasant pair of gate gibbons for you to have to deal with.

I’ve been in a similar position with somebody who very obviously didn’t like me for I’m not sure what reason! What I found worked for me was to pretend I didn’t even notice/ it was water off a duck’s back/ utterly insignificant to me! I had to fake it til I made it and eventually it stopped. If they see you are confused/bothered/upset by their behaviour that will fuel them to keep going and they will find it hilarious. If you are not bothered and don’t even notice, that is not giving them anything. I think the idea to pretend to be on the phone or actually be on the phone having a great conversation is a good one - or find something interesting to read on your phone. And focus on people you like! I bet they are probably trying to pull you down/ they might feel some envy or resentment about something you have or represent (real or imagined) but it is futile and a waste of time to try and figure out what that is.

I know your heart is in the right place but I don't think it would be wise for original commenter to lower her standards to match them
These bullying Mums could turn it all around on Her & she could then be much worse off than she's already feeling
I know from experience, being severely bullied in my teens, girls I once finally decided to stand up to, made matters even worse 😢Wouldn't wish that on anyone especially someone so lovely as this Mum here commenting🙏

I'd like to see whether they'd love a smack in the mouth, which I wish bullies everywhere would receive every time they felt it necessary to target someone for no other reason than a power trip. Bad behaviour that has no comebacks becomes engrained.

just go with “g’day ladies, lovely to see you so happy today”
Whatever they do say it’s great and a lovely reflection on their happy selves..let it all wash over you..refuse to see and downside in what they are doing.

It seems these juvenile Mums are envious of you
Why else would they be mocking & trying to make you feel self conscious
Ultimate compliment to be compared to Kylie Minogue
Though you might not dress like her
Maybe your looks resemble Kylie Minogue's & spiteful women like them, will be jealous & mock because they're feeling inferior to your good looks
This is completely their problem & utterly stinks of jealousy
Hold your head up high & well done for not reacting to them & their spiteful, envy infuelled methods 🤗

I would probably do something really odd the next time I saw them, like take my shoe off and pretend to call DFS on it

I'd give them the death stare . The look you up and down like you are rubbish one. Or say "what the eff u looking at? Want a picture, it'll last longer!"(but maybe just that last part of the sentence ). What song was it?

Oh dear, how nasty! I would have been bothered by this YEARS ago but now I pity people like this. I bet they are chavvy mums and are jealous of you because you look smart? Whatever the case is, they have issues and I'd try to ignore if I was you and look at it In a different way of how sad!

Just ignore them.
If they're old enough to do the school run, they're old enough to know better than behave in such an immature way 🙄

Confront them. Ask what is so funny. People like this are despicable

Yes. Why should they be empowered by OPs lack of reaction. maybe a cheery “Good morning, girrrls” in her best Jean Brodie accent?
