typical estate scum with too many bsa*d kids and animals. I'm so upset. I don't want to be me anymore. My kids aren't that at all. I'm crying my eyes out now. I am ashamed to be alive now.

AshamedToBeMe, ignore the stupid cow!
She is obviously thick as pigshit and very ignorant and really, can you be bothered by such an idiotic opinion?
Doesn't matter where you live, it's who you are that counts and she's a bitch!

coppertop · 21/01/2005 18:07

Don't be ashamed, ATBM. She sounds like a vile person to say those things. FWIW I live in a council house too.

sparklymieow · 21/01/2005 18:09

ATBM ignore her hon, I live in a council house and on benifits, but so what!! My house is tidy, my kids are clean and tidy. I have nothing to be ashamed about.
My sister (not misdee) is very jealous that I have a council house and I don't have to pay rent while she struggles to pay her mortage each month, but thats life!!

sparklymieow · 21/01/2005 18:10

and if council houses are so bad why do so many people try and get one???

sparklymieow · 21/01/2005 18:18

oh no, I killed this thread too...........

golds · 21/01/2005 18:25

I think that is absolutely disgusting what she said to you ATBM. I can't understand the mentality of some people. Do you know many people at the school ? did you overhear her comments or did she directly say them to you. I hate going to the playground its can be such a bitchy place, I know its hard but please try and ignore these comments, she's the one with the problem NOT YOU.

AshamedToBeMe · 22/01/2005 19:05

I can't face going to school on monday. How can I start to feel like me when theres always someone there waiting to make me feel like a nobody. It hurts like hell. Its killing me inside.

Oh ATBM, so sorry this has got to you so much. This woman sounds like a rude, ignorant, arrogant cow. What, FFS, is her problem that she feels she needs to go around saying things like that?! Try and look at it like this: She obviously has no manners, no upbringing, no social skills - so you, who have all these things and loads more, are a million times BETTER than HER. Saw a nice quote somewhere: 'Arrogance is the art of being proud of your own stupidity'. Fits that woman to a T!

Your last post sounds like this might have happened to you before. Is that the case? Whatever, you aren't a nobody, OK? Please try not to get too down about it.

Spacecadet · 22/01/2005 20:51

how dare this woman speak to you like this, she is no better than you, remember this, she is just on insignificant person who prob slags everyone off, just one person, listen to the majority, they are saying that you are not what this woman says..listen to them.. not her got to school on mon and hold your head up high.. you are a good, kind and decent person...remember that.

ionesmum · 22/01/2005 21:21

ATBM, listen, you are a great mum. Your kids obviously love you. You give them a nice home, a lovely dog to play with (I can't be arsed to do that myself atm) and lots of love. The people that matter are your kids, not some stupid woman you don't know. FWIW she sounds like she has a bolt loose. Feel sorry for her and her kids. She's the one with the problem, not you.

Caligula · 22/01/2005 21:24

Honey, nobody can make you feel like a nobody unless you let them. This woman, if she has any decency at all (and it's doubtful) is possibly sitting at home agonising about how horrible she was on Friday and embarressed about going to school on Monday.

And so she bloody well should be - she's got a lot to be ashamed of. You haven't. You've done nothing wrong. She has.

Tortington · 23/01/2005 00:47

what a f*king cheek! if she says owt again tell her your obviously not as well adjusted to scummyness as she thinks or you would be done for GBH.

or you could tell her you know someone who will do her over for a tenner.

or you could tell her that you wish her as much happiness in her entire life as you get in one hour in a single day.

or all three

Tortington · 23/01/2005 00:57

but DO hold your head high in the playground and refuse to be intimidated by anyone - whats the worst she can do? hit you in the playground? i'd take the smack just to be able to prosicute her. if she gets verbal you cant ignore it and expect it to go away - or take the moral highground - cos you will prolly feel rubish about yourself.

please walk over to her - make the approach get her offguard - let her know you are not scared. and tell her calmly that you thought she was rude last week considering she doesnt know anything about you.

from there anything could happen you could take it nicely or nastily, you could invite her round for coffee so she could get to know you better - i guess the retord to that would be a snidey "no thanks!!!" smirk cruel giggle. in which case you could take a good long slow look her up and down and tell her "its a good job we all dont judge people at first glance" and walk off

gosh am so annoyed for you

fostermum · 23/01/2005 07:35

the others are right hold your head up, look them in the eye and know that your kids and animals love you for being you,it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks,where abouts are you?do you have any friends ion the area maby thats kids go to the same school.these people are only passing through your life briefly but your family and kids and real friends are there through out,so smile your the lucky one, think how shit there life is if they have time to worry about yours

Caligula · 24/01/2005 16:38

ATBM, how did it go at the school today? Do you feel OK?

charleypops · 24/01/2005 17:35

God, poor you! what sort of person did she seem to be? Was she scarey and hard-faced? I'd probably feel the same but I wouldn't admit it and I certainly wouldn't let her see it, should I ever have the misfortune to see her again. I would take my dog and whoever to pick up my kids as usual and if she is there, simply pretend she wasn't there. That will really annoy her. No doubt she's used to intimidating people, but what can she do?? Beat you up?? I think not.

You sound so sweet, and I know you wouldn't dream of saying anything like that to anyone else, and if she'd said it to a friend of yours you'd be furious - so get a bit angry on your own behalf, that'll give you the strength to ignore her. Good Luck! x

How are you today - any hassle?

Spacecadet · 24/01/2005 21:02

how did it go today?

NameChangingMancMidlander · 24/01/2005 21:09

God, this is awful

I'm horrified that this person said something like that to you with seemingly no provocation . I'm not surprised that you feel hurt by it. Everyone who has posted supportively on here is right. I hope today went ok for you.
