Question by : A woman at my son’s school is an ample gossiper.How would you manage this situation.I don’t trust her intentions
Our boys only had a few play dates. I met her when we escorted a field trip. She appeared atoxic.The more I talked to her the more she uncovered details about other parent & even teachers secret matters.On a few occasions after school when plucking up my son she would holler my name & stated she had to talk to me.Her conversations would be “did you cognize so and so dad is hairless” are you grave you discontinued me for that or “did you cognize our sons teacher is in love with her fiancees proportionate” I wouldn’t feed into her conversations & said I had to go.On one occasion I experienced her boring a little boy who was over her home about their family. I cognized this was only to get a scoop.She even neared me to state me out of concern ( yeah proper ) that our sons teacher & her discoursed my son & his issues.That is where she traversed the line.I informed her not to gossip about my son & announced the teacher to principal & board of ed. She now calls to see if our kids can play. How do I kept out her downI know this woman has an analyzable the necessitate to be everyone’s so named friend & mouth behind their backs. I know that I am no antithetic to her & most probable gossips about my family. I don’t unwrap much but universal stuff but Im bound she’ll make something up. As far as our children go I finger they can be friends but at school. I don’t need women like her in my life. We have enough traveling on than to deal with a little girl who thinks she’s in eminent school. I’m going to tell her that my son can’t go but how much should I uncover about her behavior? It’s a shame that she has to acquit that way but I REFUSE to permit my family go a victim to her stupidity. She is one of those woman who feel the need to have all the attention accomplishable. I’m an adult who knows that her behavior is improper. I just feel cheerless for all those fools who befriend her & don’t know what she is executing behind their back. I see thru her and desire nothing to do with it. So what would you state. I don’t want to be catty at all.

When she gossips I wouldnt react or comment, she will soon get the message that your not a gossiper or you cannot feed her gossip!

I think you need to avoid this woman. Just stay away from her, and don’t give her any reason to want to talk to you.
if the kids like each other then have them go to youre home tell her polietly that you think it is best not to talk of others problems because it is none of youre buisness cut her of every time she goese to gossip she will get the hint
You did the right thing. The next time she calls tell her no that they cannot play unless her son comes to your house to do so. This will keep her from drilling your son and it will also show her she is not going to be able to do to you what she has done to others. If you said something to her before, tell her that is the reason you are not comfortable with your child being around her. Tell her you are too old for all of the drama and you do not want your children to experience it either. Just flat out tell her plain and simple. She had no problem telling you things, you should do her the same. It is sad that the kids have to suffer bc of immature parents though. I would suggest letting them play if the other boy comes to your house or something similar so that they will not think they are being punished for her actions.
i know several parents like this. i talk to them every year, I’m a teacher! if fact, i had a mom do this exact some thing this last school year. she came to my room to help with a field trip, started complaining about a students mother and how she cares for her child, then asked what i thought of the student and the situation. i informed her that i do NOT discuss students with others and that if she had genuine concerns for the child she should report them to the office. she proceeded to the other parents that she and i discussed this student and that i had even told her that i contacted DHS.
when you already realize that someone is a gossiper the best thing to do is avoid them and if that is not possible then you need to just be honest. tell her that you know what she is up to and you do not what any part of it. good luck to you and i hope this is helpful!
when she starts to talk about others i would just say great i dont care and i dont need to know that information about others personal lifes and if you cant stop acting like you are in high school dont speak to me and i dont want my child hanging out at your house! iwoulod be straight forward with her and tell her maybe if someone says something than she will see how she really is and how annoying it is to others!
