Stress with other parents at the school

Hello,

I don't know where to post this.

I'm not sure if I should mention something to the teachers or not do. After I take DD to school, us parents take part in helping our children in the cloakroom to get sorted before class. It's always packed and there's loads of other adults, usually both parents are there and sometimes even grandparents! The other adults keep banging into my DD and it's upsetting. They don't apologise either for doing this. I haven't seen them bang into other people's kids. I'm certain they might but I only see it happen to DD so I try and keep her away from the crowd. Going from A-B is stressful as the parents get in our way, walk into DD, bang back into me and don't notice we're there.

Today in the room, I noticed that a woman passed my DD carelessly and caught her with her handbag. (She must've known she did that). I spoke up about this to DD and I asked her if that woman's bag hit her. After I said this, the woman's husband gave me a sharp look. I'm getting really stressed by the "cloakroom" rush. Should I talk to the school about this? I get the impression that none of the other parents care about my DD because they don't appear to like me. None of them talk to me in the playground. Some live in my neighbourhood and act as if I'm a piece of poo by the way they look at me.

I don't know what to do.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your posts.

Yes it's the Reception and my DD is 4. I was being a bit silly earlier to think it's personal but I was upset after coming back home. I'm going to ring the school again and speak to someone about it.

I'd imagine a few of the children may find that a stressful experience. No reason at all why the parents need to be in the cloakroom. Sounds like chaos.
