*Warning - major rant alet!*

Last Thursday, walking my 7 yr old home from school, we waited to cross the road. A car came dithering along and started left into another road. Nothing else was coming so we started crossing the road. As we had almost reached the other side, the stupid "person" dricing suddenly went into reverse and was inches from hitting my daughter. I shouted at the time "Oi! Look where youre going" Got no response and they went back into the road they were turning into and drove off.

The next day, as I had seen who it was, I approached her after taking my daughter to school. I politely and calmly pointed out what had happened but all she said was oh. Then she said she couldnt see out of the windows. Then she said it was because she had her three kids in the car and trying to get them to stop jumping around! Hello.....seat belts? If I had been in that situation I wouldve said right, no ones going anywhere til youre sitting down nicely. Simple! All this time, still no sign of an apology or regret. I stated that if she cant see out of her windows or concerntrate on whats happening outside the car, she shouldnt be driving. Still calm and polite, I walked away.

This morning I got to the playground with my daughter and I see her point to me and say "Thats her" Her mum couldnt quite see who she meant so me being me and always willing to help, I said to her mum, "shes pointing to me". I waved my daughter into school and started to leave when I heard from behind me, "excuse me". I turned around and nicely said "Yes?" Sorry, this is turning into a novel, maybe I should start writing one, hmmmm! (I didnt say that last bit to her btw!)

.....

She said "My daughter says youve said she ran your daughter over. (Obviously dealing with a drama queen!) I pointed out I had never said that and put her straight on what I had said, she NEARLY hit my daughter reversing. She then starts ranting and raving at me for teaching my daughter to walk out behind parked cars?? Umm, no, there was no parked cars where we was crossing. She was safely holding onto the pram, crossing the road with me, with no cars coming towards us. She then pointed out I shouldnt cross behind a reversing car. I, still calm somehow, stated the car was going forward, into another road when we started crossing. (What am I supposed to wait til shes 200 yards down the road and out of sight just in case she throws it into reverse??) She then asked me well why did she start reversing? (How am I supposed to know? I wasnt driving!!) I did admit that there were parked cars on either side on the road she was turning into and that maybe she couldnt get round in one go ( but having seen buses turn into the same road, she has no excuse other than c0cking up a simple left turn!) She is the one who nearly hit my daughter yet Im the one getting the harrassment! Am I wrong to point out to her what had happened? Oh, thats another thing, she said she didnt see my daughter, I said ok but didnt you see me? Didnt you see my pram? (I have a big pram) She didnt see any of us! (Try opening your eyes love, works wonders!)

Still awake?

they both sound as dozy as each other psy!

Keep your keyes in your hand next time you see her driving and if she does something so stupid again, make sure the kids and you are stepped back but that you hand with the keys in just so happens to scarpe all the way down the car. Then report her as having hit the pram :)

or simply report her for not restraining her children safely in the car.

Gosh Psychick hun , some people !!! Isn't it ridiculous how they can turn it all on it's head to make themselves look like the victims and as though it was all your fault ...grrrrrrr !
((( hug )))

lol you two are wicked!

Not you bigmamma! lol The trouble twins! lol

If she had hit my daughter, the 2nd call I wouldve made, would be to the police to have her charged for driving without due care and attention!

Whats really bothering me now is am I going to get this everytim she sees me in the playground? It wont bother me personally but its not good for my daughter, and the other kids to see, plus I work in that school and I know this morning didnt go unnoticed by at least one teacher!

[redcrx]

even if it others hear it Im sure they will have the sense to realise that the woman should be the one being very very vigilant when reversing her car back into a junction.

Just avoid her and it will all settle down Im sure xx

If you are then get one of those big hands you know like Joey had in friends that they use at matches, and stick it on top of your head.
