to have been sarcastic back towards this mother who said my.dd looked overweight.

[watchoutforthatsnail]

Her son is tiny. 6 years old and in age 4-5 clothes. She was complaining about how little he eats and How he needs to eat all the time.
She said I wouldn't know becase my dd is overweight.

Dd is not. She is the height, and consequently weight, of an 8-9 year old child.
The doctor is happy with her. She eats pretty much everything put in front of her, all home cooked meals.swims once a week. Rainbows. Dog walking everyday. In the park, bike riding. Scooters etc.

So, I commented it must be very hard to have a child that won't walk more than 200 meters. Or do any physical activity. ( he doesn't, there is nothing physically wrong with him)

Ffs, where do people get off?

I have a small DS2. He is 5.6 but below 9th centile for both. Neither GP or school nurse are concerned as he is short and light and therefore the correct weight for his height (also I am only 5ft1 and DP 5ft9 so would never have huge DC)

My best friend otoh has a bigger than average DD2, who is off the chart for both height and weight. However once again, no HP she had seen has any concerns as her weight corresponds to her height (she is the size of an average 6 year old at 3) My friend is 6ft and her DH 6ft6, so they wouldn't have small children really! When I was looking after the DD once, the optician complimented me om my gorgeous DD (I wish she was mine :) ) then asked if she was off school sick, my response was 'She is only 2, not even at nursery yet!' The optician looked a bit like this

Every child is different, and your friend was rude OP. However, you didn't need to be rude back! Although I agree there is something not right about her son not being able to walk to school at 6!

Buch- that.might be because that's what the whole thread is about???!!!

Also the fact she's 127 or whatever tall. When most of her peers are.10 cm at least shorter, meanes It's not in my head..

Watchout

I have tried to give you honest advice all the way through here.

You seem to want an excuse for everyone to be being mean to you.

Yeah, not so smartphine.

And not paranoid. Just at a school where people seem to have no manners.

Op, Apologies. You're right. That did sound mean. It was just this thread on top of several others did make me feel as if all was not quite as it should be in the cosmos.

Yes, ditto.
This thread was the first time I have crossed with Hully on a number of threads today. I was joking but Hully is right, it did read as pointed when it wasn't intended as so.

You do sound as though you feel everyone is against you though.
Most on here think you were right to be infuriated even if they do not agree with how you replied.

If it happens again try another mnet staple

Off you Fuck, Cunty chops

You were wrong to be rude about her child.
You were right though to be annoyed about the way she spoke about yours.
Next time, just be an adult and punch her in the face.
joking

I think to make a comment like that without knowing why they child doesn't do much activity is down right rude. My Ds is asthmatic and can't walk far at all, thankfully he is only young at the moment so it's not an issue yet but nobody else would know why he spends more time in a pram than most his age unless I told them.

You are judging the other parents at the school for their apparent lack of manners - so why would you want to sink to their level?

Fwiw, I agree that her comment about your dd was offensive, and clearly it upset you, and I absolutely understand that too - but it is not a good enough excuse for you making equally nasty comments about her child.

And I really don't understand why you'd rather sink to her level than sound a bit odd.

That is a nice cape there honeydragon.

Is the bit done in sequins a penis?

I used to have a vintage policeman's cape.

PS - vintage cape, not vintage policeman. If I had a policeman, I'd rather have a nice, youngish one.

Hahaha at dixon of dock green and his cape

Eee-vnin' All

Why thank you Pag, the sequins are actually a sheath for my Mighty Nob of Reason.

I think, after the ' your dd speaks strangely, therefore you speak strangely' comment the other week ( plus some crappy judgements from.family) I decided that being terribly polite and smiling and nodding , while thinking I was better for not sinking to their level wasn't working, and that sonetimes It's best to come back with something and maybe stop them in their tracks.
( which I.also don't think works, because the lady this morning didn't even seem to notice I was being sarcastic)
I.don't feel everyone is aganist me at all. Just that people have absolutely no manners.

What I have learnt, is that people are mean and offensive with no manners, no matter how I react, They will continue to be mean snd offensive with no manners.

I can understand why you snapped back at her OP. It's natural instinct and she was incredibly rude.

Of course you shouldn't have brought her child into it, but you know that.

DS1 was really small when he was a toddler (still not massive, but not as noticeable now) and I got really sick of random strangers commenting on it. One woman actually asked what was wrong with him when I told her how old he was. People can be amazingly rude and I can only think they don't realise they are doing it. Nobody is happy unless a child sits slap bang in the middle of these stupid charts nowadays (mostly as they don't understand how to read them).

If your DD is tall for her age, then this is likely not the last comment you will get. Think of a standard response you are happy with (telling them they are being rude is good and effective) and just trot it out each time.

at Mighty Nob of Reason.

I see your Nob of Reason and raise you The Penis of PARD.

I am sorry - but I really do not understand you. If other people are going to be rude/mean/offensive whatever you say, why not maintain your own, higher standards? Why do you want to be as bad as they are?

Mishy, I did..that's the thing. My standard ' the doctor is happy with her, her weight is fine for her height' didn't stop her.
She then said she looked like she could still do with loosing some weight.

It was then that my ' smile, nod, be poliet' crumbled and I snapped back.

Aaaah behold the Penis of PARD tis truely a noble phallus of reason

Sdtg- it Was just an experiment. I.don't normally say anything back.

It was just trying a different way of dealing with it, that's all.

I bet that was a phrase you never thought you'd be using today, Pag!

I like it in ways that worry me slightly SDT
