Why are parents from schools so nosey and gossipy?

Question

its like i have nothing to do with them , but i can see them gossipin away about me and stuff and try and make me feel uncomfortable, are all parents like this in schools or is it this school which has some rather nasty parents

Answer 1

that's what happens to people who have a lot of time in their hands. they tend to look at other people a little more closely than is appropriate.

don't let them get to you, these things happen. at least you're important enough for them to notice you.

Answer 2

There is always a parent at the school who gossips about other parents. "Did you hear that her and her husband fight a lot?" "That single mother just lives off the government" "That little girls mother is NEVER at the PTA" Lol... sound familiar? Sorry, but gossip is everywhere. It is best just to nod your head and walk away. Don't feed the flame! I hope this helps.

Answer 3

why would they be jealous because you are young??  Maybe they are just confiding in each other about how they feel about you and how you havent been very friendly.  Just as they dont know anything about you, you dont know anything about them if you havent talked to them.  Try talking to them.  Keep you friends close and your enemies closer.

Answer 4

Yep they are ALL like that. I'm friends with a lot of moms but most of them talk c**p about everyone , including me- I bet. Oh well, they must not have interesting lives, I think.

Answer 5

I am actually considering changing my daughters school because of the same thing...the parents are SO horrible that I worry the kids are as bad....they stand there and ***** and talk loudly about other people...I hate it and it gets me down. I want my daughter to be brought up in a healthy environment...where women and girls stick up for each other ...not put each other down.

Answer 6

Every school has parents and teachers that are nosey and gossip but that doesn't mean all of us do it.  

Answer 7

yes im sure all schools have this problem. while most stay at home moms have super busy lives, some people really don't have anything better to do than gossip. if you stay away from them and don't gossip they are threateaned by you because you have better things to do than sit around gossiping. also if you are younger/prettier than most of the moms they will get jeleous and try to bring you down. they obviously don't feel comfortable that they are good parents and they are making themselves feel better by putting you down. like marylin monroe said "let them say what they want, if they care about what I do then im already better than them anyway"

Answer 8

Everyone gossips, not just parents.

People on the net, families, friends, etc.
