I've posted before about feeling that the other parents at DD1's school are very clique-y. Things have improved since half term as DD1 no longer goes to breakfast club, meaning at one of is always drops her off at school.
However, there is one mother who really, really looks down on me and has started making some very odd comments. First of all, when we were chatting about pre-school education, I mentioned that DD1 had attended a school nursery in the next town (our primary doesn't have an attached nursery). "Did you not consider keeping her there?" was her response . She didn't say it nicely either. DD1 has been chosen to play a big role in the nativity (or so we think - DD1 is notorious for being fanciful but lots of other parents have mentioned it!), and last week in the playground this other woman snapped at me "My DD was distraught she didn't get the part. In floods of tears".
Yesterday we were at a birthday party and DD1, who was hungry and a bit bothered by lots of kids screaming and running around at the start (i.e. having fun - she's a very serious little soul) burst into tears. This woman turns to me and says, in front of DD1, "I hope she's not going to be like that during the nativity". Later, while I was talking to another parent - it turned out we'd gone to the same (local) secondary - she spat out "You haven't gone very far, have you". She has also given me the third degree about what we do for jobs and where we live etc.
Sensible head says ignore, but I'm finding this a little hurtful. Even worse, DD1 seems to be quite friendly with this child. What do I do?
