To want to punch this school mum in the face?!

[bambisims]

So.. background dd had a speech problem diagnosed at 2. She's now six and you pretty much wouldn't know she had a problem. Almost there, but it was a long slog she went to a specialist school for a while etc.

Ds also now unfortunately has been put forward for speech therapy. He's 2, 3 in august. A mum at dd school today day asked when ds would be going to school. I answered next year all being well.

She asked what I mean I said 'well depending on how his speech comes on as technically we could delay to the following year until he is CSA. She then laughed (a full belly laugh) and said 'well clearly it's not coming well at the moment'

I was just like 😳 just because it's not a physically disability why would someone think I would just laugh along it's bloody awful seeing your children not being able to express themselves, get frustrated etc.

What a twat.... I'm cross I didn't tell her off I just didn't really say anything!!

Insensitive 🐮. Or maybe your DS said something funny but you didn't hear him?

She's an arsehole.

I'll hold your coat.

I would ignore her in future, and if she asked why I would tell her you didn't appreciate her finding your son's speech delay so amusing.

Thanks handsoff. Just needed to vent as I'm usually such a confident loud person etc. And would just speak my mind but I was so shocked I just kind of welled up and felt like a dick when I was walking back to the car!! I think as it's a second child in a similar situation you already feel awful without people making jokes!

Sorry missed the next comments! I need you all there to hold my coat (and dd school bad...classy) while I deck her!!

She also has a ds in my sons nursery so should probably knows how old her is anyway....twat...

Bag not bad!

"His speech will improve, you'll always be a cunt and there's no improvement on that."

That would've been my parting line

Iwant to punch her fucking face in to OP.

I had a similar situation. My dd was non verbal as a three year old and a mother at M&T told her dd off for not enunciating something properly and she said "Speak properly, you're not Lucy" It is genuinely one of my biggest regrets that i didn't call her out on it. It was ina church hall and the images in my head were nit pretty. I never spoke to that woman again.

Dd had speach therapy and pardon the cliche but by yr 6 she never shuts up

That was an awful thing to say. Honestly I would blank her from now until eternity.

Hellobonjour that was very very Similar to my
Comeback... that I said to my dh about her 30 mins after it happened! I was just so shocked I froze!

BiAAAATCH!!!!!

Sorry- I know I sound about 5, but that kind of smuggery-buggery just wants me to poke her in the side and stick out my tongue!

OP, while your child is coming on in leaps and bounds over the next few months, SHE will always speak like a cunt.

Ps, I had a lisp until I was 14, wnd went through SP myself, so I sort of get it.

I was going to say YABU because violence is never the answer but I read your post and have changed my mind. Lamp the twat.

(May be a sensitive topic as my DD has disordered speech and we're looking at delaying until CSA as well)

What does CSA mean?

Theorginallem that is absolutely awful! What a absolute bastard! I can't believe someone said that! Thankfully as dd had a similar problem and like you say with speech therapy is now 'normal' (sorry) with speech I am more laid back about ds. But not so laid back I like people laughing about it!!

what a terrible thing to say. I'd feel the same.

All rounds you sound more mature that her!!! And I think that's what's made it worse ds has been coming on so much so I was feeling very positive until her twatty comment! My mum answered similar to you 'god job she's so bloody perfect then isn't it'

Sorry csa 'compulsory school age' (term after 5th birthday)

Ouchbollocks 'violence is never the answer...lamp the twat'

Unbelievable OP. YADNBU

Thanks chump... as silly as it sounds venting on Mumsnet has helped!!!

'Speak properly, you're not Lucy.' . Why are some people so rude? Why the comparisons? I can only think it's competitive parenting because they're so insecure themselves.

I'll hold you bag, and you deck her one.

(Mother of non-verbal up to 3.5yr old who is now 25 and doesn't like talking, even though he is very good at it but still remember the 3 years 2 months and 5 days it took before he said 'mummy')

Mummyoflittledragon i can't believe someone Actually said that to... I don't know. Maybe you're right about this school mum as her dd (who is in my dd class) is much much smaller than the rest of the class .. and does seem to have a growth problem. However I wouldn't actually know as unlike her I've realised it's none of my business and never bloody asked and just spoke about her dd as the lovely little girl she is. I've never mentioned her size why would I?!!!

I'm feeling the rage in your behalf, OP. What a nasty piece of work
