Just realised how snobby & unfriendly the mums at dc's school are:(

[Jerseyshore12]

Bit of a background... My dc's are at a very good state school in an affluent area... Most parents at the school live in similar estates/houses however the level of snobbery is really making me miserable, I hate the school run... I try to be friendly, always smile, say hi, try to muster up conversation but they literally look at me like I'm something they walked on... I came home & cried this morning, I felt so belittled & worthless. If your face doesn't fit, you don't have a high flying career or not part of the PTA or another comittee you don't seem to get acknowledged... Thankfully we live in a lovely house & area, dc are super happy in the school, lots of friends & are flying with their schoolwork which really is the main thing... I guess I just need a few coping mechanisms to get me through the drop offs. Please be kind & if anyone has had any similar experiences please share.

Paperback, I never called anyone on here a bitch. I was just relating experiences. Why the hostility?

Some people certainly do hold onto feelings about this a long time.... such determination to show how unconcerned they are but the intensity and venom of the comments proving otherwise. How would anyone know who was “ top of the school”? Do some schools have league tables? I can’t even find out where my DD is in her class... our school just don’t do comparisons like that. I also can’t believe that getting into grammar school is that uncommon surely? There seems to be so much projection about a group of people you see for 10 minutes at the start and end of the day.
