[quote formerbabe]@Immigrantsong. I have a few friends and my family...I'm fine but it has been hard for my dd. My ds class was full of friendly parents but when my dd started school, the parents all already knew each other from the area, nurseries that my dc didn't attend and so consequently they're very cliquey and we're on the outside. I remember saying good morning to another mum and she looked at me like I was something she stepped in and said a begrudging good morning back. People are so weird[/quote]
Oh wow shockingly similar experiences then.
We live here all alone, as all family abroad.
I kept being told that as soon as we would have kids things would change as people make friends easier when they have kids.
Biggest lie ever.
Kids both have a Yorkshire accent and they should fit in, but alas they won't let us.
Kept inviting people over for playdates and parties, never get invited anywhere.
We work full time and that took so much effort. Even re arranged things with work, so I could drop off and pick up my eldest from school in an effort to meet parents for her sake. But nothing. No one cares enough to want to be friends. They all have friends.
As a disabled parent and an immigrant this hurts. I feel that I can't do anything for my kids to give them the lovely childhood I had abroad.
Why are people such cunts?
All we want is to be part of life here. We didn't want to be those immigrants that only socialise with other immigrants, as we wanted to make this our country. But this country doesn't want us. They just want us to work and then ignore us.
