hi,
i'm just wondering if maybe i'm being unreasonable or over sensitive. DD1 is at nursery (attached to a school) and I have made 'friends' with some of the parents at drop off /pick up time. we all live locally and bump into each other regularly at the park /shops next to the school. I'm always polite/friendly, just balanced i'm not in peoples faces but I do have the odd friendly chat with a couple of mums. The other day one of the mums who lives a couple of doors away from me was asking mums round for a coffee after drop off time, she mentioned it to two women next to me a in a rather hush-hush voice and then again to a mum infront of me. I was a bit suprised that i hadn't been asked- i know her as well as the other ladies. I kept on thinking she'd ask but she didnt, and i felt a bit stranne sloping off home on my own as they all headed to her house. a bit sad actually . similar things happen to me every now and then and i do start to wonder if maybe its my muslim dress that puts people off, i'm not in black from head to toe or anything- just jeans, baggy tops and a small coloured headscarf. i really would be interested to hear peoples comments as in real life people dont tell you how they feel about your dress obviously.
