What is your "Queen Bee" like

[Anonymous]

I see posts here and there about your neighborhood queen bee, or mom's group queen bee, etc. I guess I don't know one, or maybe I don't get it. Describe a Queen Bee you know.

According to the ongoing QB thread, that makes you the Queen Bee.

Ours is an older lady on the street. We live on a low traffic, low population cul-de-sac, and all the parents were in the street talking. She marched down from her house to tell us all that we shouldn't allow our children to cross the street, and that we shouldn't be setting a bad example by standing in the street. Then she proceeded to walk in the street all the way up to her driveway,at which point she got on the sidewalk.

Another day I was out in the street watching my son ride is scooter. She walked out of her house and took his scooter from him. He of course came running to me crying (he's 4) and she handed me the scooter and said he was in the street. No kidding. I was standing there (also in the street) watching him and keeping an eye out for cars.

I forgot to mention that after this my address and phone number were listed as a restaurant and traffic on the street increased. It took me forever to get all that miss information off the Internet. Also, if she was really knew she wouldn't have listed us as a Chinese restaurant, but a Korean one.

Maybe this is where Queen Bees go when they retire.

I wonder what she was like before. Just a young mom?

Sadly, the best example of a queen bee I know is my mom. It finally dawned on me the other day, that is what she is. Constantly puts others down to make herself feel better....including me. I mean, she's a good mom in most areas, but HAS to try to be better than me.

The latest was she came to babysit (good mom) and my son was acting up. She made a big show of how my son never acts up when she watches him. I told her yes, I know, he mainly acts up for me, but has been worse due to the transition to a new preschool. Her under the breath comment? "Well, maybe its because he's stuck home with you for two days."

I work part-time and had JUST turned down a promotion to keep my part-time status. Thanks for the support mom (the real kicker - she worked part-time until I went to kindergarden).

I think I've seen one at the park. She's the loudest one. She immediately says, "Please keep the gate closed," as my child is walking through. Or please move, as soon as she's at the bottom of the slide. She's quick to correct other peoples' childrens' behavior, but not any of the kids in her clique.

I don't know. I think she was a big organizer and used to being in charge of what happens on our street, but now that her children are grown, she is bored. Add to that, the fact that many of the neighbors have retired and moved, resulting in young families with children moving in, she has no control or intimidate anymore.

Sounds like she needs a new hobby.
