    Rise above it and ignore the fact it ever happened. It was probably just an error but you are the one who will suffer if you let it get to you. People do thoughtless things all the time. Act as if nothing has happened. If you do otherwise you could end up making a mountain out of a molehill and end up losing a friend

    I'm sorry but I don't get what you mean??? You said it would be ok and you would see her later....and you already said you were going to morrisons....

    I don't think they will be pitying you cause I don't think they will realise anything was wrong?????

    again sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick xxx
    The thing was i had already told her i was only going to the supermarket to kill time as i wasn't meeting my sis till later and it is too far for me to walk home and then back again and the other mum she had invited had also said she was going to the supermarket too yet she got an invite. My DH thinks it's because i have become very friendly with her best friend and she doesn't like it but this is only because we have daughters the same age and go to toddler groups together. She has also made the odd comment about how dressed up i am when i come to school but i just like making an effort that is all.
    I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.

    maybe she is jealous of you. Sometimes some ppl cant stand seeing other ppl look good or seeing them get on well with others. You know you havent done anything wrong, dont blame yourself or feel guilty hun. Atleast your making an effort. When a person looks good they feel good. Hugs x

    Women can be very !!!!!y without even knowing they are doing it. I spent the first 8 years of my working life in an office where I was the only man. The comments that used to fly around behind peoples backs were nobodys business. It is probably no more than a bit of the green eyed monster. If there is jealousy give them something to be jealous about.

    She's probably very insecure and miserable and I bet she makes a crappy brew anyhow - carry on as usual pukkamum - nothing lost here!;)

    You have every right to feel upset, some women can sooo bit*hy.

    This is the exact reason I do not mingled with the mothers at school, never have in 8 years I have been taking my children to school, I cannot be doing with whos wearing what, what the other mothers are up 2 and what colour book Henry is reading.

    In my honest opinion, it is the only downside of having children, having to take them to school, I can't wait until my children are old and responsible enough to walk themself to school.


    Walk into school this afternoon with your head high, the women should be ashamed of themselves.

    She's very petty. Rise above it - next time you invite all of them (including her) round to yours - just to show you're not as small-minded as she is! The others will have noticed - may even have said something to her about it. Try not to let it get to you. I know its hurtful - I never got invited round as I dropped children off and went straight to work - and now I'm working part time and could go I still never get the invites - well, only from the people I like and made an effort to get to know.

    I think you were lucky I would not want to be friends with someone who was rude to me. Actually I think you are lucky at least someone at the school gates talks to you, my son is in year 6 and I am invisible to the the other mums who have children in the same year as my son.

    I am so happy he is leaving there soon, because even he gets turned down nearly everytime he asks to go round someones house or for them to come to his house. We do not know any kids where we we live (no-one plays outside where we are) so often he comes home and is lonely, he is my only child and it makes me so angry to see him being snubbed. Why don't the parents think that a child wants to play and maybe lonely. But then again they all have more than one child so their children always have someone else to play with.

    Sorry about the rant but the school gates politics make me so angry.
