So, we live in a borough that has grammar schools and the usual 11+ nightmare for parents. DD is really bright and was encouraged to take the test. She passed, as it happens, but we are so far from the grammar she wanted, we knew she had a tiny chance of getting in and were expecting the school we got, which is the respectable comp very close by. However, the politics and competitiveness of some parents is genuinely shocking. I've just had a text off a woman who has never said so much as 'Morning' to me in the school playground, asking me which school my DD has got. I haven't replied but I'm really taken aback. I've written about three replies so far but deleted before sending as I'm struggling not to tell her to fuck off with her nosiness. Anyone else had experience of this bizarre behaviour??

Why do you think it's this particular woman? You're not friends or acquaintances and I'm assuming therefore her number isn't saved to your phone?

So you get a message from an unknown number 'hi where is your dd going?' Maybe it's from someone who's lost their phone or changed their number.

The only reason I might answer this rude text is because she may spread rumours about you not responding because you are upset about your dd not getting the grammar school. Projecting because she would be shouting it from the rooftops if her dd had got in and would presume you would too.
