Snooty Mums leaving DD out

81 replies

Wiseoldbird51 · 22/07/2025 20:44

We are a hardworking respectable family living in a very snooty town. The school Mums are in a group that I’m not a part of and because of this my lovely DD is left out of most social occasions. It is very sad to witness the heartlessness of her so called friends. AIBU in wanting to challenge the parents or should kids be left to experience their own heartbreak. How have others dealt with this!!

OP, are you sure you’re not approaching this with a negative attitude?

What a nasty unhelpful comment. The group I’m talking about is nouveau riche yummy mummies whose children are mostly going to private schools. My DD was unfortunate enough to think she had befriended them but soon found out the hard way. If you are interested the average house price in this town where I have lived all my life is now £650k and it’s NOT London.

Apologies, haven tread the whole thread but if the kids are going to private school and yours are not, how do you know them?

I asked same question a couple days ago but OP hasn't come back to update as far as I can see.

I think she means they are in the same state primary but her friends are going to private secondary whilst OPs child isn't.

@Thanksforyourlackofthought
private secondary after state primary? State till 8? Or y6 secondary transfer seems obvious. They are going to different schools.
