I recently ran into a mommy acquaintance at the grocery store. I call her that because I honestly don’t know her name and I don’t know much about her, except the fact that she lives in the same town. But she always walks around acting like a snotty you-know-what. Hello, we’re not in high school any more. So, we crossed paths every other aisle. I always smile at her, but she never smiles back. When we get to the deli section, she acts rudely to the woman working behind the counter and doesn’t even pretend to be polite. She honestly acts like she has a stick up her butt. The last straw for me was when I tried to make small talk with her at the check-out line. When she blatantly ignores me, I know I’ve hit my limit. When was the last time you encountered a mean mommy? Share your story here, without naming names, of course.

I have no patience for people like that!! And you have to wonder what they’re teaching their children!! Are they the bullying that I have to keep an eye on in my class??!!

You moms ROCK – thanks so much for your feedback. I wish I could come to all of your playgrounds (or grocery stores) and give this universal mom dirty looks in your honor. Or better yet, just be friendly, nice and natural…and see how she reacts. The horror! PLEASE contact me …even six months from now…the day you finally get your friendly “Mean Mom” revenge!

There is no excuse for that type of behavior. I am sure she is a very miserable person inside too. I love this blog! Can’t wait to share it with my daughter. She is a single mom of 2 and I know she will love this. God Bless

I’ve known that mom for 4 years – half my daughter’s life. She invited my kid to a birthday party on my daughter’s own birthday.

You almost have to feel sorry for her. She must be miserable. Glad we are not like her!!! My advice. Just ignore women like that when they don’t respond. They don’t deserve your energy. I used to let people like that bother me. I don’t anymore. I don’t have time for that nonsense!

I have had the same mean mommy experience. Our toddlers were in the same class together at the Y. My husband and I just refer to her as the B&^%ch. I see her everywhere and she looks right through me or sometimes she’ll just stare at me. She drives an expensive car and lives in a nice house. She acts super snotty and seems pretty rude. Then one night, we saw her and her family at friendlies. We were seated at the same table behind her and she and I ended up sitting back to back. I heard her talking with her husband and she was talking about how she used to work at Friendlies and it sounded fairly recent. I wanted to tap her and say “see you are no better than the next person so get off your high horse.” Now, I just pity her because she must be pretty miserable to go around acting like that.

I know what your talking about. I run into a woman who acts exactly the same way to me. I wonder if it’s the same woman. Our kids even went to the same pre-school together. Really, your still going to snub me and pretend you don’t know me. Every time I see her I just laugh.

Your stories always make me laugh! I was once in the grocery store checkout line with a toddler in full blown tantrum mode. Most of the looks I was getting were the sympathetic (“I’ve been there”) kind. Of course, the woman directly behind me in line was dressed to the nines (with a perfectly well behaved son of about 10) gave me the most contemptible looks. I should have held my tongue but I blurted out, “I’m sure that your child has NEVER acted like this EVER”. She thankfully moved to another line.
