DS is 4. He is not 5 until the end of July. He attends school full time, and is the youngest in his class. He is quite small, think he was on the 25th centile when he had that weighing/measuring thing done earlier in the school year, but I'm not bothered as he eats well, and there are several other boys in his class of the same height. DH is very tall but was always small as a child, so I guess DS is the same.
There is a mum at school who has an older DD in the same year as my older DD. I know her to say hello to, but she's an acquaintance rather than a friend. I don't know her well. She has twin boys who are in DS's class. Their birthday is the first week in September, so they are almost a whole year older than DS, and they are both very tall.
Ever since DS started school in September, this woman has gone on and on about how short he is. If ever I am standing with her at school drop off or pick up, she makes a comment about how he is so short, or he doesn't look old enough to be in school, and isn't it funny how her sons are so much taller than DS.
Also sometimes if she is standing near me at pick up, she forgets (or pretends to forget!) that DS goes to school. So he will come out, as will her boys and she will say something to DS like "Mini Fairy, just think, next year you will be going to big school, too". Then I say "He already goes to school, he's in the same class as your boys", she acts all shocked and then talks again about how small he is, and she forgets that he goes to school.
It is really starting to irritate me now. AIBU to get pissed off with her comments? I think she has a sense of superiority because her twins are tall, but it's not a competition. Kids are all different, right? Avoiding her isn't really an option as it's quite a small school and she often comes and stands near me at collection time.
