To be infuriated with a child in dd class keep filling her head with uter rubbish?

[Proudtobeme]

I'm new here so sorry in advance if I have posted incorrectly. Dd is year 3 and aged 7 and there is 1 particular child that always seems to manage to put stupid ideas into Dd head, actually it's all the other child's heads to. Child X's mother is intolerable even in small doses, I and several other mothers at school avoid her at all costs. Spoke to her once in reception year and have not made the same mistake again. There seems to be something nearly every week, I end up telling Dd that's not quite right and so on and poor dd ends up either confused or asking if child X is lying. The latest bit of rubbish is telling dd that because there renting out their current home as of next week as they've bought a bigger much better one that anybody that doesn't have 1 or more homes is poor and people that rent houses are very poor. Now dd is worrying that she's poor and not good enough for child X's standards Told dd that this was incorrect and was not allowed to repeat that to anyone. Explained that everybody's situation is different and doesn't make you poor or rich/good or bad person. Tried using dh and my car as an example as we lease them and get new every couple of years instead of buying them and keeping them for a long time, which made it worse as started worrying what child X would say if she found out. Told dd she is warm, feed, has clothes and shoes in the correct size, toys to play with, a roof over her head and 2 parents that love her and that's all that matters. What's really infuriating about this is we live in middle class area so my dc probably have more than a lot of other kids, so can't have dd repeating things like that. Money doesn't make a person happier or better than anybody else (admittedly might make some things easier) How can I explain this to dd, I'm lost on this one. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Good Lord, you clearly have too much time on your hands if you're getting worked up about what a young child comes out with at school. You have no idea what was actually said or what was meant. Does it even matter? Just tell your DD to ignore silly talk.

You seem determined to dislike this child because - for some unknown reason- you dislike the mother after speaking to her once...

Some (most?) children spout a lot of rubbish.

Between ages 7/8 & 11/12 they can talk with complete authority on subjects they have not a clue. DS came home most upset because "being kicked in the balls causes cancer". Zak said so.

This child is repeating what she's been told at home. If you make sure your daughter is getting the right messages at home, you'll be fine.

Child X's mother is intolerable even in small doses, I and several other mothers at school avoid her at all costs.

Maybe the mother is fed up of nobody talking to her so is having some fun with you ;)

Frankly, I'd laugh it off.

"DD, what a whole load of codswallop! You know that, don't you? Don't believe everything you hear."
Talk about stuff with her as you seem to be doing, correct incorrect information, but don't put too much emphasis on who it came from.
Kids on school yards spout all sorts of rubbish.

Don't overreact.
If the worst she encounters is snobs and self-satisfied people in her school career, she's doing fine.

Yes thank you for advice ladies. I admit I don't like her mother all she ever spouts is complete rubbish about how wealthy they are and how she has staff for this and staff for that, just gets a bit much. Not that it's relevant really in anyway but I mention it anyway, the conversation I had with her in reception year was about how after Xmas holidays she had places for dc at a local private school paid the fees in cash upto end of school year, bought uniform then pulled out of sending them at the last minute as head of our school rang her in tears asking her not to take dc out of school! Then spouted it's ok because she can afford to lose that much money. Maybe they feel they have to act this way to get people to like them but probably has the opposite effect.

She might be annoying, but you're the one letting her get under your skin. You sound massively over invested in your DD's friendships.

The mother sounds lovely and her dd obviously repeats what she hears at home. I would just laugh it off. "Do you really think we are poor, dd? Do we wear rags and only have porridge to eat every day?" etc.
Your dd will soon realise that the other girl is just spouting rubbish.

We've got similar children in our school, it can be quite tiring to listen to their opinions.

So wouldn't want dd at ballet class or brownies spouting that she's really poor, it inappropriate and could be taken the wrong way.

I had to laugh when I read this as this is probably what your DD friends mother is teaching her child... how to be one above the Jones

I know one mother just like her. It used to really get to me. Loved to tell me how melancholy my dc was, how we out to chat about this and so forth. Now I see her kids are always late for schools despite the yummy mummy persona she likes to portray.
Just take it on the chin, some women are bitches with sod all else to do.

From my experience there's always one know-it-all kid who has older siblings or is a precocious only child and tells the other kids in the class things which may or may not be true, and may or may not be age appropriate. My mum used it as the basis for a conversation to say, "OK, Daniel has said that. What do you think?" And then ultimately tell us the way she saw things which would often be our new view point.
