People calling your partner

[McVitie]

I don't often pick the kids up from school as I work full time and when I do I sit in the car so I don't know any of the "playground mums". DH does it and has been doing it for the past 2 years.

Anyway today I had the opportunity so I parked the car up and wandered into the playground and stood amongst the other parents (didnt speak to anyone though) and I heard someone calling DH She said something about "how come your mate isnt here?" to her friend then they all burst out laughing and the other one said "who? 's dad?" and again they all laughed and she said "hopefully he got run over on the way down" one of them called her a heartless cow but they were all laughing.

I know he makes an effort to talk to people and be sociable and on a few occasions when we've been out he's got on people's nerves bu being overly friendly but to say something like that is cruel and OTT surely. I was quite upset about it, especially as DH always goes on about how nice they all are.

Am I taking it too personally? I havn't mentioned it to DH but I can't stop thinking about it.

Aww that's horrible. Don't worry about it because it's not your husband with the problem, it's them. People like that tend to be cliquey and hate anyone who's not in their stupid group. Don't let it bother you and your DH doesn't need to know people are being so mean about him. I'd forget it if I were you. They've made complete tits of themselves and are clearly very rude.

I'd rather be your nice husband than one of those cows.

What utter cow bags! Don't tell your DH, though - he sounds like a nice bloke and who needs that sort of negativity in their lives?
