To get my knickers in a twist over...........

Bear with me on this.......

A few mothers from DS1's class normally have a monthly evening 'outing' - generally instigated by me. One of the mothers is so annoying and childish that because she hasn't been one of the first to know about the last couple of 'outings', has decided that she will invite other mothers from other classes to make it HER evening, whom we do not know therefore making the evening a) too large a group for a restaurant b) being asked (by said annoying mother) to wear NAMETAGS and to introduce ourselves around the table (excuse me!!???) and c) then splitting the bill into who drinks, who doesn't, who had a coffee etc etc .... just because new friends from the other class are health freaks which she is trying to copy!

So tomorrow evening we are out again, after a fellow mother very politely and subtley saying that it was just an evening for us and not others - she has only gone and bloody well invited 3 of my other friends - just to really annoy me. She has succeeded. Yesterday at school in front of the others she proceeded to talk to my other friends saying that I did not want them to come!!!!! Little madam - so angry

Said annoying mother has now started a swimming group for all the children and NOT included DS1 and also an Easter party without my 3 kids! Why - because SHE did not choose the restaurant! I am seeting - she is so pathetic and annoying and irritating. End of story, thank you!

And before you say 'don't tell her about the next evening out' - she WILL not be told about. Childish I know - but who cares.

Oh god...i'm with you on this one. Why the chuff do some people have to get wound up about the most ridiculous things . Does it REALLY matter whether she's the first, second or last person to know about a night out ffs!

i think if any of this is being done in the name of the PTA or any other name associated witht he school - you could go to the school

i think you could rightly get this one to one side and kick her in the fanjo - noep -ok you could say to her that you have friends

they have kids at this school

you go for a drink with them

you think that there should be an all parent evening and she could organise it

you thinkit should be quarterly and allt he parents should be invited

then do your own mini pissups where and when you want.

I'd just stay well clear of her and don't go to her pathetic parties. see your own fiends on your own terms.
