Can you help me to understand that topic. When I take my children to school, I say Hello or Good Morning to my sons parents, but realy sometimes to hear an answer back. Yes I am from Europe, not English. But is not better to ignore them, then feel so weird after yours Hello you did not hear any answer. I do not start any talk, just want to great people . Nothing else. And situation, when afternoon I came to pick my litlle one from the Nursery, I sow 2 grandparents standing and another man someones father wayting, I just came and said Good afternoon. No one turn to me.
Any advice?

People can be very insular. Have you tried asking them a questions, like 'Hello are you Sam's mum?' Then you could introduce yourself and your child, hopefully that will open things up for more conversation, best of luck.

Thanks Mogz.
No did not try to introduce my self, as many of the people knew whos mom I am, and I know is well. I will try from yesturday do not say hello to everyone. That is not well manners by me, but that what I can do do not upset my self. Realy have very nice 8 parents, who has a small conversation with me, and 3 of them is my friends. So can not change the word. Sadly.....

Oh I've come across a fair few of the type of parents you mention; many of them aren't ignoring you deliberately but are lost in their own little world, and others aren't interested in a simple greeting.

I always found it best just to trill "MORNING!" really quite loudly. That tends to sort the former from the latter.

What rude sods! Good on you for being the friendly one Sandarita. Probably ShredMeJillian is right: folks are often in their own little world so I tend to gently touch on the arm and say something about the weather. You know us Brits: ignore friendly Europeans saying Hello but can't stop us if you say "blooming raining again" or "supposed to be nice this weekend" Smile
