Oh god, why did I do it? We need 4 parent representatives, and there were 3 already and nobody wanted to do it so I put my hand up even though I don't much like 2 of the others and didn't know the 3rd one....why why WHY did I do it?
So now it turns out the 3rd one (who is head of the PA) is a total in-charge-take-over-my-way alpha type mum. Great.
One of the others is a real sneaky cow. She is also the one who always asks me in a faux-concerned way if ds2 understands what's going on (we are bilingual and while he understands everything perfectly he insists on only speaking English (we are not in UK)). She does the head-tilt and everything.
The other one has taken an instant dislike to me for some reason, so even if I try and chat nicely to her she answers curtly and moves away.
Why why why have I done this to myself? There are SO MANY nice parents at the Kindergarten who I get on really, really well with. Why have I volunteered to spend the next year wrangling over crap with these three?
Will someone please tell me it will be ok? Coping strategies?
And pass the wine.
