Would You Say Something?

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

I don't understand why you would say anything at all. That seems rude and unnecessary.

I don't know brands but when a parent is dressed nicely I compliment them. If another parent made a catty comment about their clothing or personal items I'd just blankly stare at them completely horrified for being so critical.

I'd only care if the CHILD came in regularly with an expensive purse as a "backpack" out of fear that it'd be ruined.

Sorry is this really a question? Are people really this judgmental? Who cares....
as long as she is taking care of her child and following all of her rules why does any of that matter.

Sorry. Maybe I'm going to start a war here but sounds like to me all of your daycare parents are haters.

This is just silly.

Agree. That sounds like quite an unusual group of parents.

I spent last weekend on a retreat with a group of wonderful women. It was an amazing time that was spent lifting each other up and offering support.

If only we could be like that all the time. lovethis

Maybe on the way to your lockers, you and the other junior high girls can find another person you are envious of. Seriously, it's not your job or anyone else's to tell an adult how to wear make up, dress, or what purse to carry.

If I was that mom, I would pull my kids out of your day care. Judge much?

WOW...that is all I have to say!

what on earth would you say to her??? "Hey dc mom, please do not bring in a purse that costs over $30 it makes the other moms feel bad".

As long as she follows your daycare policies there is NOTHING to talk about here. And honestly if I was her and found out you were discussing me and my wardrobe with other parents I would pull my child out immediately.

I wouldn't say anything. It's her problem if she needs to show off. It's their problem if they choose to be offended.

I don't see how the situation needs to involve you at all - if they're really that upset they should talk to her themselves. Besides, what could they say that wouldn't make them look dumb?
