Stuck up mums so unfriendly
As I stand at the school gate with the other mums I have come to realise that obviously don’t belong in their clique. To be honest I think they are rude, unfriendly and even a bit arrogant.

Stuck up mums at the school gate! I have often tried to smile and make conversation with them, but the very next day when I try to make eye contact I end up hitting the same unfriendly brick wall again.

| 31-5-2008 | I've been in the same situation as you are when my children were small. My suggestion is to not go out of your way to socialize with them. Be courteous as normal but don't put anymore effort than you need to if they are giving you the cold shoulder. Go about your business tending to your...more | WinterDaisey |

| 11-1-2008 | I know exactly what you mean, mostly they are rude, I say hi to everyone I pass from my daughters nursery but sometimes you just get a rude look back, so I dont bother anymore. | Hollie |
| 27-11-2007 | Every parent has been through this including myself so don't let it bother you.Anyone worth their worth will come up to you when they see you by yourself and thats when you know that you have found a friend.

| 16-11-2007 | Not sure why the school gate is expected to be a social networking venue. Why not try and find some people you've got something in common with instead?

My daughter was friends with their kids, went to birthday parties at their houses, etc. but they didn't seem to wa...more | Mrs. A. |
| 16-11-2007 | Sounds like it is their loss.
Don't try and force friendship on those unwilling to accept it, especially if they have formed a clique as you have said. You may find yourself pushed further away.
Continue being yourself, do not change to fit in; but if you feel so uncomfortable around this ...more | SteveK |
| 16-11-2007 | Hi there. The people you are referring to are what I call 'plastic people' for they aren't real people. I wouldn't worry about them too much and I fully understand where you are coming from. My wife experienced what you are experiencing now but she rose above this and saw them for...more | Cal |
