I really don't feel like being an adult right now but I have toWell, it's no secret that the (majority of) women in this town do not like me. We live in a very small town and word gets around quickly, though I've never heard a legitimate reason of why. I have thought that they take it a little too far, like when they see me & my kids out, they'll speak to my kids but won't speak to me. Or if their kid asks me if they can come to my house to play with my kid, I'll give the kid my number and say have your mom call me and we'll make arrangements....the moms never call. I can see when they walk by me at football games they'll give me a glare and then start whispering something to their friend. All of this crap I can deal with.
BUT, last night my oldest son (11) was talking about some kid at school that he did not like. I asked him why he didn't like him and he gave me a couple silly reasons followed with "he's the one who started the rumor that you're a stripper". I swear I turned to him so fast that it made me dizzy! Now obviously, we don't have a sc here, and WHEN I was dancing, it was a 45 minute drive. But somewhere along the way, this kid's dad (or whatever) has seen me and it must have come up in some conversation that the kid overheard. I did tell him that if the kid said it again, to tell him that I will make a visit to his parents house and I won't be bringing cookies lol. I also told him that I did not EVER want to hear him repeat that again.
Like I said before, word travels fast here so I'm sure that all the other parents have heard this. Here's the thing...this is affecting my kids, not me. We have to live here and my kids have to go to school here and they obviously can't have friends because their moms think I'm a dirty stripper. Should I confront this kid's parents, post a billboard, get fat and quit wearing makeup, what? I would like to believe in the "let it go, they'll forget in time" but this has been going on for a while. Opinions?
