Obnoxious comment at preschool today
I work FT and DH is at home with the kids. My DS goes to preschool one day a week in a small classroom. So I'm on vacation this week and took him to school so DH could have a break. The teacher introduced me to one of the other moms and said "this is max's mom" and this chick says "oh I didnt know that max had a mom".
WTF who says this? Like because I'm not there because I'm working means I'm not involved or something?
Would you be offended? I didnt say anything because it caught me off guard.
Re: Obnoxious comment at preschool today
WTF? Who says crap like that?
wtf?
I'm sure she wanted to suck that comment back in the minute it slipped out. She probably is still smacking her head against her palm. I am 88% sure you're getting an apology very soon
Yes, I would be annoyed.
I would try to get over it, by reassuring myself that her gross stereotypes (ur obvs. dead if his dad usually brings him to school) are a definite indicator of how sad and small her life is.
Lol. No holding my breath on that one. You can tell by the way she screetches at the kids that she's not a very happy person. DH told me afterwards that last week she bit it hard and fell into the sandbox so that made me kind of laugh.
ew. are there other pre-schools around? She gives me the shudders.
B1tch called your kid a tank!
Not one of the other mom's, the teacher called Addy that!
It would be different if it was a teacher, but just another mom who is dropping her kid off too.... ::shrugs:: I guess I feel awkward around people I don't know, so I could see myself doing something like this and then feeling like an idiot later.
clean your glasses grandma, it was a teacher who said it to her!
I am so dumb!
sorry kristie
LOL, try again
I'm waaaaaiting
For what, dork? You were wrong, you finally figured it out and I am busy cleaning my glasses and drinking metamucil.
Hahaha definitely just a snatchy mom. The teacher has said awkward things like "ok moms and uhhh... umm [husbands name]" which I get. It's not the norm and he is the only dad in there.
Another time at the playground some random foreign woman asked him "where is the mother of those children?" WTF do people care? It's annoying.
for you to read the post right before your aha moment you ijut
This one? It's okay, I already knew you were dumb, but I still love you.
::hugs angelaa and kicks her cane::
keep up! I don't edit posts. too time consuming!
your eyesight isn't what it was. it's okay! time to change out the tennis balls on your walker mildred
did you give her a "wtf" look?
I would have not said anything and let the award silence set in so they could maybe absorb how stupid they are. Most of the time I do that, it works, and people say sorry. lol.
I'm sorry, I know that svcks. That has actually happened to me - twice to my face and more often behind it.
I have an hour long commute, each way, and carpool. H drops our son off, my dad picks him up (he's retired, my mom is still working.) That means our 13 mo old has shorter days at daycare and more family time. Yet the receptionists always manage to say something like, Oh, we never see you here! or to my husband Your wife is always working! Um, yeah. If I weren't, we wouldnt be paying 350 a week for your fine facility, see how that works?
One actually ran into us having dinner out and LO was on my lap eating and playing and she said something to the effect that it was nice to see me spending time with him. WTF? After that I mentioned to the daycare coordinator that it's not terribly good for their business to imply moms shouldn't work and/or have lives.
