[ Original Post ]

I have never written on a chat forum before but had to get this out to anyone who would understand what I just went through!

I am a single mother of a 12 year old son and a 4 year old son. I work full time to support my family and make a pretty good income for a single income household. I live in an area which has various income levels etc.

I just got back from a 4 year olds b-day party of people whom I have never met (a child from my son's pre-school). It was the most HORRIBLE experience ever! The parents basically outcasted me and made me feel like I am a horrible parent, my life sucks and that my children are suffering because not only am I a single parent but because I work full time. I was shunned because my child is not in all of the daytime activities that their children are in and because my son has to be in daycare. I obviously did not "fit in" with their group either and they made me aware of it because I am a larger girl and not a size 2 and do not have the time or money to have my nails done, hair done, or go to yoga daily and drink chai latte's! WHATEVER ↓

Hi
Love 1 thing to say about them lot is stuff em if they cant be bothered to get to know you on the inside just because of the way you look on the out ther not worth knowing. You sound like a good hardworking mum doing the best for their child you can hold your head up high knowing that while your making the right choices in life their sat Bitchin over late's talkin down folk they dont know. just smile knowin they only put people down cos they got nothing better to do leave em to their sad existence am sure as ur son gets older he'l meet new friends with nice parents. theirs millions out there that would prefer your real friendship to their fake ones x ↑

Hun you'll find alot of them are more jelous than anything, yes some of them are in happy marriages etc but the other half aren't yet they rely on their 'hardly ever there' husbands for finacial support etc, because all they've ever done is be a wife & mother. They are threatened by the woman who can do it all, be a great solo mum, hold a full time job & still take her children to birthday parties

(+ they know they have to be made up and all fake just to impress people & keep their hubbys, you my dear can do as you please & know the important people love you anyway).

As much as it shocked you to feel like that & wasn't fun being pushed out, you should know you're doing the best by your children & their opinion just doesn't matter! ↑
