Silent/observing mumsnetter here..
Childhood friend who I would consider to have been one of my best friends growing up..
Haven't had much interaction over the last 5-6 yrs due to living abroad.
Met up a few weeks ago and discussed our kids education. Said I was sending mine to a single-sex private school..
Reaction was:
- "why would you do that?" and
- "I want my kids to be grounded so I'm more inclined to send them to the local state school".. - I thought this was the most rude comment
"Oh yes I've heard of 'said' school and inquired about it and they offered us a place straight by away which I thought was weird" - undertones of 'school must be desperate to offer places willy nilly'
FYI "said" school is non selective at reception so enquiries would obvs result in places being offered!
As a side note, me AND this friend both went to single-sex private schools.. hence why I thought reaction was odd.. we both had a happy time.
AIBU - don't tell her I found her comments judgy and just let it slide
YANBU - tell her she was a rude, judgy cow and that I didn't appreciate her comments. I would NOT judge her choices
