I’ve seen Polish people judging parents so many times, in fact, happened to me thrice. Once when I left my 4 year old behind because he wouldn’t move (you know throwing a tantrum) and I was hoping he’d follow me but two Polish women started telling me off for leaving him behind. I was gutted but stayed silent.
Then 2nd time when I was browsing make-up in a shop and I didn’t answer my kid’s silly question about make up, two Polish girls saw that and started saying that’s very mean of me. But again I was angry but didn’t say anything to them.
And now yesterday I let my 4 year old walk on the pavement alone and this giant Polish guy gave me a really mean look and nodded his head sideways. I lost my temper and shouted, “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?”.
Seriously, what’s wrong with these Polish people? They are the most annoying community I’ve come across in UK.
I hope this thread will appear in searchbar and others who’ve been victim of Polish judgmental people will relate to it and may be share their experience here.
I have nothing but good words for Russian/Polish/Ukrainians. I use to live in Brooklyn, so good size community there… sure there are some bad apples among them.
In my day as a child … people used to tell me off for misbehaving … these days parents get an ear full … I got similar treatment with the kids, but by police officers … funny polish sounds a bit like police …
Actually I agree with catskin … but not that the Polish are badtameez … It so happens that the desis in the UK mind their own business, and most of us don’t really look out for one another … however Poles are still family centric and many of them have only moved here over the past 10 years and still hold some community care … Their manner is abrupt and we are not used to it. English are very reserved people and will shrug, try to ignore or lift their noses to a parent - child disagreement … about the only public members who will say something are police, old ladies … and now the Polish …
However … they fail to realise one thing in their sincere advice … they should offer to help not have a go at an already perplexed parent …

but they didn’t know the whole situation and just assumed and judged me wrongly.
