There is a mother at my ds preschool. She is always going on about how 'perfect' her kids are. They are very quiet, shy perhaps, but to the point that i find them almost rude as they never answer when you speak to them. My kids are spirited, creative, cheeky, independant, wilful and sometimes downright naughty but she goes on like 'oh x would never do that (something my child is doing) X has always been perfect' It really winds me up.
Another thing she does that pisses me off. I got a breastfeeding bag thingy when preg from m/w, i ask her did u get one?? She says 'no i dont breastfeed, i prefer the idea of bottle feeding so my husband and i can share it'. I doubt the m/w was only handing out bags to those that were intending to breast feed
Latest annoyance. I mention giving kids their milk before bed. She asks 'oh do you still give them milk before bed' (They are all under 5)i say i do and so she tells me her child is not allowed anything to drink after dinner, i ask what if she is thirsty would you let her have a little water? I don't think so she says, it might make her get up in the night and i'm not having that.
I just find this fucking cruel. Is a drink of water not a human right? And getting up in the night? is that not just part of being a parent?
