[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rudest person in this scenario is you, who had a negative experience with an individual, and blows it up to presume that pretty much all parents act/behave/have these expectations.

OK, you had a rude encounter. That's life. Move on. Do you really need the attention of this thread?[/quote]

Hey look it’s play date mom![/quote]

I'm definitely not the playdate mom, and I think OP's attitude stinks, too.  She was brusque, the other person reacted poorly, and OP now wants confirmation that either all parents are like this or she's right in judging this mother and being snotty about swearing in front of a little kid.  Not impressed.  Just write it off as a person feeling flustered and move on.

[b]I agree with the poster who said that, parent or not, I expect that people will be polite[/b].  [/quote]

Although brusque, I don’t find that OPs response was impolite. Condo living is VERY different than SFH or whatever living.. you can literally move around in your life and NEVER see or meet your neighbours, unless you happened to be leaving at exactly the same time, or returning at the same time. People aren’t milling around in the halls or lobby like they do in their yard.

To me, the mom snarking back about knowing neighbours is what was very rude, but I’ll assume she was flustered at not being able to connect by phone to the other family, and likely uncomfortable in a condo environment. [/quote]
