To think that this comment was really childish?

Met up with another school mum friend in the pub last week for a few drinks. Half an hour later, another group of school mums arrived so they’d obviously planned a night out together which neither my friend nor I had been invited on. Fair enough, we didn’t invite them on ours. The queen bee of the group passed by our table on her way to bar and said ‘didn’t expect to see you two here’ and throughout evening was looking over at us and laughing. We’re not the cool crowd, who decides that anyway, just two friends having a drink. Why do adults behave like this?

This exact scenario has happened to me about 15 times over my children’s school career. I’m just out with my mates and they are out with theirs.

I say ooh hello! Hope you have a good night! And never think of it again until mumsnet asks me to hate someone for it.

Same advice to you OP - hope you have a good night. The end.

They went out. You went out. You have a small connection in that your children go to the same school. Thinking she is a ‘queen bee’ as if she is your class mate is a scenario in your head.

That sounds pathetic. What's wrong with just a polite hello or just a nod.
Those people aren't your friends, just because their kids go to the school. You and your friend should be laughing away right back at them. I usually try and kill it with kindness, like I'd have a few drinks, go upto their table and just start a really pleasant polite little chat. 'Oh hi Karen(s), how's your kid, we haven't got to speak much at the gate, this pub is great isn't it' etc. They will soon realise round where you/your mate come from adults act like adults and have manners.
