Don't get me wrong, I don't find it's a regular thing, and I'll always smile and say hello to a kid if they try to interact with me, wheter with my kids or not. But on that particular occasion outside the ballet, I was not just imagining it, that woman gave me a filthy look, just because I was there. Although to be fair I've heard her talking to other parents, and she sounds like a bit of a nut case anyway.
