Bit of background - there is this school mum who I have regularly talked with for a few years. Her daughter is in the same class as my twins and one of them is particulalry friendly with her. We also went through pregnancy together and my son is in reception with her other daughter.
We tend to only see each other at school functions/ school run but have had the odd coffee and chat together. She was very helpful when my husband left and I was trying to rearrange my working pattern and equally I have helped her out on occasion.
The focus of our conversations has recently seemed to be about food, or more precisely what I am cooking for dinner. Doesnt help that my girls always rush out of school and ask whats for dinner.
So yesterday, I told then soup and bread, chocolate cake (they'd had school dinners) and she commented that it wasnt a substantial meal in a kind of jokey way (although this was all homemade - not that it should matter).
Today I nipped to the shop with kids to get them a bag of sweets each and some sausages to tea. She looks in my basket and comments that she doesnt know how I stay so slim (I'm bigger than her)and that she never gives her childen sweets.
This isnt the first time that I've heard these sort of comments and she got a bit funny with me when i took her daughter to McDonalds for lunch with us a few moinths ago....the sausages are to go with mash and 3 lots of veg and the sweets were becuase we had just had a morning walk with the dog and were going back home to relax and watch a dvd.
so should I ignore this? say something?
