Thank you for your replies. I normally dont let peoples opinions get to me, especially when I dont know them, I just say to myself 'they have no idea' and then I carry on.

The person that really pushed my buttons is my daughters scout leader (I am also a scout leader with her group) He seams to think he knows the kids so well but yet he doesnt know that my daughter cant balance properly during fast games (which he insists on running) and if she falls over it throws her body harder than the average person. The easiest way to chear her up is to pick her up and continue the game with her on my back (or anyones back, I just happened to be working with her team yesterday)laughing all the way to distract her from what upset her. Although yesterday she injured her knee (so I found out latter, and it was so badly injured the first aider questioned sending us off to hospital for xrays) which was why she didnt cheer up as fast as she would normally.

Anyway, i have had my vent and am feeling better to hav eit out of my head. Next week I will just have to take a deep breath everytime he questions me and either ignore it or defend myself and walk away.

Saram: I haven't seen that thread but I will have a look.
