In dd's unit she has a friend whose mum is okay but is always going on and on about what her child can do etc.
Anyway the main bone of contention I have is that she will purposefully phone me and ask if dd has been invited to a certain party her child has. Dd has been to quite a few this year but not as many as her child. I am fine about it as long as dd doesn't get upset it's one less present to get and I do feel that sometimes dd gets a bit overwhelmed by the party thing.
If I say dd hasn't been invited she will go all quiet and then say oh I wonder why? She then will mention it whenever we see each other.
Am I being totally OTT or is this woman winding me up?
I know that dd finds it hard to socialise and isn't going to be the child that is invited to loads of parties, that's part of how dd is. What I don't need is to be constantly reminded! (although she has been to a few this year)

What's my Postcode???? Sounds like a bloody parrot! She must be SUPER insecure!

Hi BH why don't you ask her to join us at the next mumsnet meetup? We could all put her straight for you

and in the same sentence it was "my ex husband is a millionaire and he never took us to moanco. Webster tajkes us everywhere blah bl;ah b;lah"

Davros · 22/07/2005 10:55

Fio, are you making this up? Ribs hurting...

Fio2 · 22/07/2005 11:00

of course i am not making this up!

she was a classic , honestly and why she wanted to brag in front of me i will never know!

moondog · 22/07/2005 12:38

lol Fio!
You should have answered back with a 'We don't know,we don't know,we don't know,we don't know'

BH,some people are plainly quite quite mad.....

She would make a great character in Little Britain

Davros · 23/07/2005 11:05

Oh yes becca, shall we write a sketch and send it in?

PostcodeWoman · 23/07/2005 11:50

So what's my postcode? Tell them. Go on! What's my postcode?

Webster had it monogrammed on to our beee-yoooootiful expensive towels, daaaah-lings!

coppertop · 23/07/2005 11:52

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

Blossomhill · 23/07/2005 19:06

Here, here BH, I am looking forward to being very anti social next term when ds2 starts school!! no party invites and those looks of pity! My inclusion woman from the council said people will feel sorry for me - I don't want their pity, I want understanding and acceptance of my little ds2!
ps ignore the woman, I reckon it makes her feel a little more superior but who knows for what reason????

beccaboo · 24/07/2005 22:33

Yes Davros, think we should! I can just see David Walliams in a frock & high heels as postcode woman. Matt Lucas can be Webster, and Brad Pitt can be the ex-husband who never took her anywhere......

Fio, you can choose who plays you. You do, of course, triumph in the end with a devastating one-liner, and head off to the Oscars with Brad and your dd.
