Anyway I just don't want this discussion to turn into a flinging match. We all have bad experiences even in the best of situations. And just becuase we don't act a certain way doesn't mean it doesn't happen
I agree... Maddy has heaps of friends as she has gone from the kinder to the primary school with atleast 20 of the kids & we have kids back at our house regularly, or she is at their places. I grew up in the area too, many of the Mum's are also ladies & or wives of guys I went to school with so we all got together from mothers group days etc & they all still go to school together.

I guess I am luckier that my parents do the picking up & dropping off, we as a family attend all the school sports nights/days, we go to all the school concerts, I know alot of the Mum's too... But I see the ones that have upset many a parent & these seem to be the ones that hang around... Also they simply dont allow any other parents input in numerous things, thankfully their youngest kids finish primary school this year & there will be some fresh ideas allowed...


As long as the parents all have the same agenda... Helping their children enjoy, learn & feel comfortable, confident & safe at school, then it's fine we seem to have some that are just too b*tchy..
