Mum screaming F you at another car outside nursery

[unicornlady]

I was just picking up my child when I saw another mum exit the nursery with her child.

They were going to a car parked on the road and there was an altercation with another car. The mum was putting her child into her seat and a woman in a car that was passing them, started shouting at the mum for putting her child in her seat in the road.

The mum then proceeded to shout 'F You ' twice to the lady, who then drove off. The mum then looked and me and said sorry and drove off.

AIBU to think this is totally unacceptable outside of a nursery ? Thankfully my child didn't hear, but her child did !

What on earth have the poor nursery staff got to do with it? What do you expect them to do? Send an email out saying “please don’t say fuck you to the other parents at pickup time, thank you”?!

Just move on with your life.

Good Luck when your DC starts school OP! You'll hear much worse than this (unless you're going to privately educate your child!) Ha!

Unless she's going to home school I'd say!

Just leave it. People are bastards and they always will be. Someone spat on my dh at a train station today. Dh thinks it might be because the man wanted 2 seats to himself, but dh had sat by the man (taking only about 3/4 of one seat) because he was knackered and needed to rest.

What you need to teach your child is to get away from people who behave like this.

lol is that a joke? My grown up ds was in reception in a private school years ago and a classmate said fuck!

Totally agree but people are usually encouraged to involve 'the school' in their parking spats outside school etc..

I’d mention to the nursery, one mum at DS’s school was very belligerent. She now has to do pick ups and drops offs at another gate just off the school property. Much less stressful without the risk of her kicking off.

@Kesio exactly! Happens in private schools as well! OP is going to get a shock in the real world!

Why? What are they going to do?

you sound so incredibly precious.

two women had an altercation - you weren’t involved so stay out of it.

Ah the language Anglo Saxon shall ner be forgotten cos the French when they invaded sent it underground.... Oh how we still get upset about its use today, many centuries later... I think we all need to be Gen X about it and stop giving a sh1t about the use of Anglo Saxon!

@unicornlady I more concerned about the behaviour not the language. She shouldn't have been putting her in roadside but it happens so 1st mum was ooo saying anything, 2nd was ooo reacting as she did but we all have our crosses to bear so maybe she was having a bad day.

Best to smile and move on methinks.

Paaaaaaahahahaahahahahahahaha

This reminded me of the time my son (six at that time) heard swearing on the bus and stood up i asked him what he was doing and he said "im going to tell those bigger boys off one of them said fuck and there are kids on this bus" 😂

Brilliant 🤩! What a character!

They may enjoy that because😂 they may see it as a medal

seriously - 😂

I was in a rush at Morrison's last week and the stupid bloody self checkout kept going wrong. I was really, really pushed for time as I needed to get home to meet someone and I was running late. The people that help at the checkout kept wandering off so it was taking ages every time there was a problem.

I may or may not have muttered "stupid bastard fucking machine" when it refused to acknowledge the item on the belt for the millionth time.

It was one of the those long self-checkouts as I had a full trolley of food.

I may or may not have looked up and seen a family with a young child on the other side of the checkout that I hadn't noticed while I was furiously scanning my food.

It was not my finest moment. But it was a stupid fucking bastard of a machine. Sometimes these phrases just slip out.

So thoughtful of you to be concerned about this awful behaviour

What do you expect them to do?! Amazing 😂🤣

You have no idea what she is going through - so I wouldn’t judge. I’d be checking she was okay? It sounds like the last straw.

Lol

I've had people scream at me for this too. They can't see the other twin already in. I'm not Mr Tickle, I can't buckle the second one in from the other side!

Not always possible, depending on age though. And then they need buckling in.

our toddler doesn’t pronounce the “se” of horse, just says “hor” despite us trying to over emphasise 😂

think that’s much worse than fuck 😂

Even having read “Uranus” - I think this OP wins as either the best windup or biggest fucking pearl clutcher of the day

Only on mums nett.
I hear its almost illegal for a parent to swear and kids must never see parents or any other parent lose their temper.
WELL WE ARE HUMANS.
And kids will see and hear things.
