I know I probably am bu
But often people are so bloody entitled and it drives me mad.
DD goes to a popular nursery in the area which accepts both private paid and government funded children.
As it’s a lovely nursery there is often a waiting list for places and you do really need to apply within a reasonable timeframe to get a place for the term. For example, my DD started in a September and I applied in the May before that and was told she was one of the last children they were accepting.

Anyway - I’m on a Facebook page for the local area and this lady has posted asking what time the nursery opens as she has been trying to call and email them for three days to apply for her son with no reply. I’ve politely answered her post to inform her that they’re currently closed for the summer and that she would have done better to apply weeks ago when they were open as they are probably full for September by now anyway. I also said that she might find that there’s no space and they’ll put her son on the waiting list or request that he starts in the January term instead.

She’s commented back with a screenshot of their website post from April this year stating that they’re now taking applications for September 2021 with the caption “can you please just tell me what time they are open so I can take my son over there for admission”. I haven’t replied to it at all because I think it is downright rude however I’m very tempted to say something back.

I know It’s not a big deal but it’s just the entitledness of this lady. She would be taking her son over there to meet a locked gate and empty building

Anyway, rant over

What a thing to be smug ans unhelpful about though, your kid having a nursery place and thinking another kid won’t. I just don’t understand the ops need to write what she did then rudely not respond back

I guess it takes all sorts, but really, over a nursery place?

@TheGumption

You were rude! You've come across like an Amanda from Motherland there.

I totally read it in Amanda's voice 😂

are you coming back @Sunshineandlollyfucks ?

This might have been a "wind em up and watch em go" job. I did wonder a bit at the mention of privately vs council funded places. Still, it's quite subtle if so. Nicely done.

Yes I think yabu no need to be so shitty just ignore her. Why are you taking it upon yourself to give out all the information for the nursery? Scroll down

I hope she gets a place straight away just to annoy you OP tbh

This is why I can't bear Facebook - aggy Karens with too much time on their hands

There you are, fixed that for you.

Can't you people ever learn words?

You were really rude. Why tell her she should have applied ages ago. You should have just left it as they are shut over the summer.

You don’t work there so it’s not your place to comment really. You’ve idea what places they have left etc.

I think this is a wind up thread. The council versus private thing was a giveaway

Quite happy with my use of Karens, thanks

@sixthtimelucky some people are happy with their use of nr, p, m* etc too. Funny, isn’t it, the various things that make people happy?

@sixthtimelucky

Quite happy with my use of Karens, thanks

If you own actual name was Karen, would you feel differently?

@clpsmum

I hope she gets a place straight away just to annoy you OP tbh

@clpsmum me too! 🤣 And then comes back to reply. "Phoned today, child starts tomorrow" smug face gif

Are you actually likening Karen to derogatory racist swear words? You’ve got to be kidding me. Shameful.

Tbf I would have probably answered you in a similar way OP. You didn't need to add the extra information - that's for her to learn the hard way. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@TheSkatesOfCoachBombay 🤣🤣 love that

What does all this have to do with you. Why are you getting involved and getting worked up?

You’re the one who was rude here.
Also agree you sound smug.

I have had severe anxiety in the past and have struggled with organisation and the terrible guilt that comes with it. For all you know this woman might be panicking and feeling like shit and you’ve just made her feel a thousand times worse.

YABU.

If your reply was truly meant to help, wouldn't you just reply "they will reopen on sept 6th"

Rather than highlighting she may have left it too late.

@TheSkatesOfCoachBombay hahahaha brilliant I hope that happens lol. Some people are so bloody smug and superior it winds me up

If OP wrote that post to me she would have got a reply far less polite than the other woman managed.
