Hi all
This has just really upset me…
My son was playing out in the back garden with neighbour children - he and this lad usually get on alright.
He’s just come in saying he doesn’t want to play with said kid. I ask why he said he’s called me poor !.
Now we live in the same street as them my house is actually 3 bedroomed there has two.
I’m a single parent work my arse off :-(. I’m a nurse. They are from a two parent household.
My garden needs totally doing by my own admission it’s a mess. But gah that has struck a nerve. Sons not bothered 😕 but it’s peeved me off ! Am guessing maybe he’s overheard his parent talking or he comparing his garden to mine. Gah I need to grow another skin.

Hmm, my DS was told by his 9 year old friend that his parents thought our family were bourgeois!
They live in a 16th century farmhouse, I'm guessing it's not a compliment.
Thanks for all you do as a nurse. Flowers
