Finding things tough and school mum comments upsetting me

I’m a bit upset about comments one person in particular at school drop offs and pick ups keeps making to me. I am a little stressed at the moment with raising 3 kids (7, 5 and 6 months old). She keeps saying things like “omg you look so stressed” and “I’m worried about you because you look stressed”. She texted me last week saying “I’m really concerned for your welfare and you seemed really nervous and on edge this morning, I’m here to chat if u need”.

The problem is her comments are making me feel embarrassed I keep wondering if anyone else is saying things about me and I’m more nervous worrying about looking nervous if that makes sense? I don’t want to look weak and her comments are annoying me as she’s making me feel inferior and weak if that makes sense.

Annoying thing is she’s not perfect, last week her top was on inside out with the label showing but I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to embarrass her infront of people. If we were alone I would have said something but not infront of the whole school!

I’m dreading Monday morning and wondering what she’ll say to me or what patronising way she’ll look at me. I really wish I didn’t have to see her she really makes me more nervous.

I know I shouldn’t let it get to me but I’m feeling really down already and she’s not helping the situation

She's a bully. Personally I would be straight down the line and say
"actually I find your remarks rude, please stop it". End of. You'll feel brilliant after.
