Patronising parents

[Boomshack]

This particular mother has always been pretty patronising about my child - always assumed if I was in school it was to see teachers about her development compared to her ‘genius’ child (not because I was involved in other things and actually it had nothing to do with my child but because I helped with various activities for kids in other years)…

Her child left that school (yes a private school) to go to elsewhere but our child stayed. As it goes the original school closed so our DC has now ended up the one of the most prestigious schools in the area. It’s brilliant, she has thrived. Obviously the other child is elsewhere and unlikely to go where it DC is.

There have been a few occasions when she has been disbelieving our DD should get into the school like this. Anyway, I mentioned in a message that I couldn’t believe it was 2 terms since DD relocated school. This mum immediately responded that ‘oh so your DD is not at x any more, awww’ so I had to clarify that no it was only 2 terms since she went there.

I know she was pissed DD went to this new school in the first place. Why tho? Who gives that much of a shit about another kid? Why are some people so keen to see other kids fail?

Meh. You both seem (from your posts) to focus on what either each other's child is doing or what each thinks of each others child.

You tjink tjis wonan is patronising but you've stayed in touch. You've brrn messaging her direct, you've decided she needs reminding how long your dc has bedn at the 'prestigious' school. Other parent thinks that means she has left. You are annoyed other parent thinks she has left.

You sound as bad as each other.

Fwiw one of my dc is in s local 'prestigious' school and it's rubbish, there are failings in any school.

always assumed if I was in school it was to see teachers about her development compared to her ‘genius’ child

Any guesses as to why these two particular parents were at the school often enough for this to be an issue?

@Mumdiva99

Why are you having a private conversation with someone you don't like?

I see op never answered this question that was repeatedly asked
