Who feels left out by the other mums while at the school gate waiting for it to open.

So sorry to hear that, they exhibit the same attitude at work aswel. Completely ignore them and act as if they don’t exist.

I'm so nervous for this 😩 Dreading it, little one hasn't started nursery yet. I'm so sorry it's absolutely gross adults are behaving that way 😞

I feel you should not be concerned. Those other moms have all the time in the world to gossip, chit chat, show off this luxurious belongings. But you on the other hand need to work on yourself and your kid. If you are working just focus on your job and your kid. I see other moms chatting for 1 hr after school ends. Does it bother me ? No.. because I am working, I have to pay bills. Unfortunately the other moms are blessed and so they don’t have to work. But I am happy that I am independent and I am trying to Instill same behaviour in my kid. Also I am better being way off alone then being in company of kitty party moms who have nothing to do !! Always remember nothing wrong with you, it’s them. They have to fix their brain and try to be more human. You are perfect the way you are..

Maybe join the PTA if there is one of you want to make friends there. Maybe they knew each other before reception class. Try not to make it bother you

Honestly girl indifference is the best thing to do. Showing them you’re bothered will give them the reaction they want. There is no other explanation for this in my head other than jealousy. Act like u don’t even notice or care, smile a lot to. Don’t let them feel like their bitchyness is making you feel any type of way.

I'm this mum, it's been 3 years since my eldest started school. The first year, I felt the same as you, but you do get over it! I don't care for them anymore because I overhear their conversations, and they are just nasty. There is no point in associating in people like that. Keep your peace! You have a community of mum's on here to back you up. 🧡

I don’t know. I think people care much less about you than you think (in a nice way). Not denying your experience but a lot of hyper aware people (like myself) can literally take a blink to mean something. I’m so sorry if they are, my advice would be just to hold your head up and smile at them x

That's awful behaviour. My sister was always drops and pick up just in time. School dramas are not joke some mothers are crazy, interfering in others life. My small one starts nursery in 4 weeks I'm really worried as I'm myself don't have any mum friend . I'm not socially chatty. I'm worried that my son will be excluded from participating in any kids parties. I don't know why they do this but usually those kind of people have really unhappy life and they try to make yourself better putting others down . Maybe take someone with you for pick ups I was going with my sister a lot of times. And believe me you didn't done nothing wrong they probably dislike you for no reason just because they need to hate someone they need someone to talk about it. My sister was working 2 jobs one full-time career instead being just miserable tired of chores mum. And she is always so cheerful happy 😅 maybe that's why they pick on her.

That's all you need to focus on. You said it in your post. You're there to just be there to drop off and pick up your son. Unfortunately, some people really do not like someone from the get go without no reason or explanation. It's down to you whether you want to allow those morons to affect you. It's not nice of course, but you need to just completely ignore them, hold your head high, and continue. Sorry there are people who've made you feel like this!

I feel this, I can feel and see the stares every time I walk up to pick my son up. We just moved to a higher class area so most of the moms have the same type of look where as I am an alternate mom. I’ve had a group of moms stop their conversation and stare at me. Personally I don’t care because fuck being friends with people who are going to act like that, plus we’d probably have nothing in common. I’ve seen like two other moms there with lots of tattoos and trying to work up the courage to talk to them.
