Probably over reacting I know but it is driving me insane.
I have three kids aged 5,2 and 8 months.
At drop off and pick up time there is another mum in the playground who makes me want to either a) slap her or b) run home and move house so I dont have to go there ever again.

just a quick list of things that make me angry:

My raincover broke for my pushchair (big double) she started on at me about how i shouldnt bring my children out in the rain. What was i supposed to do leave my daughter at school all night?

my son was standing on the foot rest of the pushchair because he was tired and she started whispering to another mum who told me she was telling her about how she would never let her child stand on there and how I was too soft!
my cat scratched my baby (yes i know shouldnt have happened) and she started accusing me of not caring for them properly!
My son goes in the pushchair and apparently this is not "acceptable" at his age. My daughter was wearing a coat and she started asking if i knew her hands must be freezing and could I get another one (implying could i afford one!)

ok reading back I am being unreasonable but can I slap her anyway?please?

What are her children doing while she's having a pop at you? Are they StepfordChildren?

you could always say "are you asking/telling me that in an official capacity, or simply interfering?"

bucharest - thats the funny part while she was telling me how awful it is to have my little boy in a pushchair at his age her little girl was playing unattended and unrestrained on the edge of a busy road - to me that is more unacceptable but I know when its not my business lol. Sometime I get the feeling shes very lonely actually which is what stops me being outwardly mean back to her but I really have got the end of my tether now so although I will probably not slap her (i dont fancy getting banned from the school or something lol) I think i will activley avoid her and if she starts on again I may tell her to mind her own business.
