any tips on growing that thick skin?

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Just had a rotten drop off at nursery due to stroppy comments from a certain cats-bum mouth woman I have posted about before and then a tactless inviting of another child to a birthday party in front of me and DD, in a TINY little room.

Got out and burst into tears. How can I stop being such a wimp?

Probably tell them exactly what I think of them! (with swearing!)

It does get much easier with time.

I remember going to have my legs waxed (as you do) and the beautician realising that my dd was in the same nursery class as her dd. She then proceeded to tell me that she had thought of inviting my dd to her dc's party - but then decided against it as she didn't think that my dd would enjoy it (WTF - why did she need to tell me that?). Ouch - let's just say the hurt to my legs was far less than the hurt to my heart.

Anyway - as eatyourveg says - it's one way of separating the wheat from the chaff. I reckon why would I want to be friends with people who can't like my dd just as she is. I certainly know that my friends now are real friends.

Hope you have a good weekend
