Several months ago I spoke to my Dd teacher as I had , had enough of 2 classmates who had been making my daughter's school life not a pleasent experience (These 2 young girls had been mean/spiteful for about a year and are well known for this behaviour.My visit to the teacher was in response to one of these girls getting her eldest sister in Year 5 to terrorise my daughter).
Following a recent social event it is obvious that previous polite chit chat has now been abandonded by these girls parents who have now decided to ignore me!!
I was never Close enough to have collared these parents before I went to the school(The school itself does not agree with this approach-The school doesn't seem to think Bullying exsist just 'girls being girls!!!'..}
I am an older mother...I consider myself to have a brain....I am a busy mother ...I don't understand why I am upset by their behaviours and know I should know better.....god no wonder their children behave in a weird way!!!!Any one else been through same thing??The thought of this for the next 10 years fills me with dread.

Oh God - it's all so silly but of course you are upset because your child is being upset - who wouldn't be

I have sons plus a baby daughter and I am dreading her going to school for exactly these types of scenarios several parents and teachers have said girls friendship far trickier and nastier than boys but I don't know as yet. Schools are such an insular environment

I was once waking my son from school and overheard a rather upset mother tells her daughter "oh don't worry about those nasty girls they won't even be in the same school as you next year" and I found that even as an onlooker very upsetting because i could just sense the upset they were feeling

Trulyfrstrated you need to start a new thread. You've replied to a thread which is seven years old on a different subject.

There must be loads more parents to be friends with? Have other children round to tea. Join in with other activities. They cannot be the only parents on the playground? I am very thick skinned and I just do not need stupid parents with stupid children in my life and I don't care about their "bad vibes". They circle around them, not me. There are decent people out there - you have just made a poor judgement with these parents. Use the next few years to move into a different circle of friends.

I would consider moving schools if your dd is being bullied.

"I think its only natural that they will be cool towards you as you went in to school to complain about their daughters. Its just human nature, I'm afraid."

If my child got into trouble for bullying, I would apologize profusely to the poor parents and child concerned (and make my child apologize too). I would be too embarrassed to make much social chit chat with the parents afterwards, sure. But that is very different to not apologize and refusing to speak to someone!
