Well as you have probably gathered from my last post, there are some pretty hardcore mothers at my daughter's school. Yesterday my views about one particular mother (I shall call her Ruby) were confirmed when I received a text message from another (very lovely) school mum who, like me, is also a lawyer. The message said "... have had a rota crisis with "Ruby" so can we discuss tonight as am currently at work. I am a tad stressed!".
Ruby and "lovely working mum" (LWM) had a rota for collecting their daughters from school although frequently LWM was at work so her nanny collected the girls instead when it was her day to collect. What happened yesterday was that Ruby phoned LWM whilst LWM was in a meeting and started screaming abuse at her down the phone to the effect that she had been told by another mother that LWM's nanny let Ruby's daughter sit in the front seat and that she would not be standing for that or continuing to do a rota with LWM. She then went on to say that LMW clearly didn't care about her own daughter or her safety as she went to work.
Ever since my daughter started nursery school there has been what can only be described as a cold war between the working mums and the stay at home mums with the stay at home mums being so self-righteous about the sacrifices they had made to be there for their children. Funny thing is that the majority of these martyrs have an array of live-in staff, cleaners, nannies and mother's helps to care for their little angels whilst they can then concentrate on terrorising those of us who actually go out to work for a living...
