I was standing outside DDs classroom this morning waiting for the doors to open and Talking to another mum when her 4 year old dd came up to us and said to her mum
Mum, LittleNonnas mum isn't her real mum is she. I replied yes I am her real mum.
Child said "no, remember mum you told me that LittleNonnas mum wasn't, her real mum.
Child's mum was squirming in embarrassment. My dd didn't know what to do. She got very clingy and refused to go into school. Eventually her best friends lovely mum came and distracted dd while I spoke to her teacher and explained why she was upset. Dd knows all about her adoption and is happy to talk about it when she wants to.
What sort of mother thinks it's ok to gossip to her kids about something so sensitive. Stupid cow. I'm livid.
This women isn't a friend as such, she knows dd is adopted because my adult dd used to go out with a member of her family.
