[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am so sorry and I know this happens. I don't want to make you feel worse.

This is exactly why I stay off my kid's turf. I stay out of their school. I wish the PTeacherA had a balance of teachers involved which might curb these QBM. I quickly learned that the PTA was more about satisfying Moms' social needs, which can take a bad turn, and my child deserved their own turf uncomplicated by my relationships.[/quote]
+1 Another mom with the QB PTA mom. The petty meanness and taking out on my DD is just amazing.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, valid point. Although in fairness lots of the other parents are cool. Also, parents are involved in lots of kids activities, such as sports teams, scouts, etc. There's no way to run the activities without some parent volunteers. This particular QBM has told me multiple times that she went to a top Ivy, which is nice, but not required for the sorts of volunteering we are involved with. I know other parents with that background but they don't need to discuss it. I think it may have led her to assume that no one else can handle basic tasks without that accreditation.[/quote]It helps to remember that people like this are [i]deeply[/i] insecure and to remind yourself of how awful it must feel to be them.  It doesn't solve all your problems but it helps now and then to remember that in some respects this person is a mess inside and you're lucky to not be like them.[/quote]
