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 !

I'm not sure why drivers having a bad day think its ok to unleash their anger on others

Wait until your child starts school! You'll be emailing non stop!!

Why? It has nothing to do with them! YABU.

Maybe she's had the worst day ever. Her child probably licked the loo brush, threw milk on the floor, pulled the dogs hair, refused to anything remotely compliant. Husband useless, she's running seriously late and then someone comes along by a nursery and gives her stick for putting her child in.

To be honest I'd have done the same and I don't swear.

Kindly, you need to get a grip. Someone swore. That's it. It's got nothing to do with you and nothing to do with the nursery.

If a man pulled up to tell a woman how to put her children in the car and she told him to fuck off, we'd all be cheering her on.

The woman who swore is not the one in the wrong here.

Not possible with rear facing seats. And rear facing seats are best for safety.

Have you considered writing to the lead singer of Echo and the Bunnymen?

Yeah it sounds like the shouty mum has some issues around her emotions and behaviour. How embarrassing.

Rough will always be rough.

I couldn’t get worked up about this. She was probably stressed and just shouted without thinking.

kids are always “at risk” of hearing shouting or swearing out in public. It’s highly unlikely to cause any harm.

Or kids of any age who are in a harness rather than an infant carrier that can be taken in and out. I can only do the harness on either of our seats by standing at the open door, not from the front seat even when forward facing.

Well it's not ideal by a long stretch but ultimately nothing to do with the nursery, a complaint will go nowhere.

The mother might learn from this when the child starts dropping F bombs at inappropriate times, or she might not care. Who knows?

Perhaps you need to look for a more genteel nursery where potty mouthed mothers are less likely to be present?

Omg aren’t you a delicate flower. Please get a hobby.

oh, and fuck you

🤣🤣 why??

Maybe because she's an anarchist.

I've had people shouting at me for putting my child in the car on the road side. What they don't realise, is that I have a mobility scooter with a hoist that HAS to be fitted on one side of the car, which puts the scooter on the other side with that side's seats down. So there is only ONE back seat available which is where my DC has to sit. I have to park in disabled at school as the only alternative is a quarter mile walk which I can’t do. Parking in disabled means the side my DC is on, is on the road. I quite literally have zero choice. But sure enough, small minded people who make incorrect assumptions of my 'laziness' shout shit at me and call me neglectful

@ShadesofPoachedSmoke

I'd be telling that nursery to fuck off, how ridiculous trying to control everyone's behaviour.

What madness - why would you damage relations with an outstanding nursery, that puts your child at the centre of their considerations, by telling them to fuck off?

And I'd rather my child didn't spit, so I'm totally on board with telling adults not to spit (or abuse each other in confrontational manners) too

Not if you've got a blue badge it isn't

Chavs everywhere, nothing new lol

@EnglishBluebell you're just being picky for the sake if it. 🙄Nursery wouldn't put out messages about not parking on double yellows if it was the occasional blue badge doing it. It was clearly a number of non entitled people parking there for collection!

I'm not being picky for the sake of anything! I'm also not talking about the nursery. I'm mentioning the blue badge thing because as a bb holder I'm sick to mother-loving FUCK of people shouting abuse at me and/or trying to tell me I'm illegally parked and filming me and my DC etc etc. Every fucking time. So the more people who learn that bb holders CAN park on double yellows, the bloody better!

*only applies when not obstructing the road

Oh do grow up. Are you the swear police FFS.?

To be honest, it could be a public order offence if the recipient felt harassed or alarmed.

You do that.
