Bit of background first - Dd went to school with this girl and I grew up in the same street as her DM. Our families know each other. We don’t socialise but may make small talk.
both sets of GMs bumped into each others whereby the other GM said, which my DM felt was gloating, that she’d heard my DD didn’t get into her first choice but her GD got into her first choice (another uni and course)
now I Believe my DM when she says this was done snidely as this family have form for being jealous and bitchy but seriously why kick a kid when they’re down?
and anyway DD has gotten into a similar course and a higher ranking uni now so its all worked out. That uni asked for higher grades than the other kids uni but we’re not rubbing anyone’s faces in it. We are not nasty gossips
AIBU to think exams etc can bring out people’s nasty sides! Apologies for typos as only on my phone.
