Mum claims she's shunned by other parents on school run for being 'too good looking'
The school run can be tough for a lot of parents, who find it difficult to socialise and befriend other mums and dads at the school gates.
But for one mum, she claims she has been given the cold shoulders by the other mothers as she's 'too good looking'.
Sabine Roll-Cohen said that she is subjected to 'hotphobia' on a regular basis due to her being vilified by other parents for her choice of clothing.
The personal shopper said: "I like to wear small shorts, or a low [cut] dress, or a tiny crop top. I like to feel sexy.

"Every woman should look after themselves. I don’t go out much anymore, so the school run is my reason to get dressed. Why not wear a nice outfit?
"The other mums don’t talk to me when I look nice, they just turn their noses up.
"But when I am dressed in my jogging bottoms, they decide to speak to me. It’s strange."
The 40-year-old mum claimed that she was snubbed when turning to a child's birthday party in a crop top, but refuses to dress differently.
Cohen said: "I was at this party with my six-year-old son, but I only knew one other mum there.
"I was wearing a little floral crop top and some skinny jeans which showed off my perky bum and I thought I looked great.
"But every single mum at the party, apart from my friend, ignored me.
"I asked my friend why no one was talking to me and she said, ‘Maybe you wear the wrong outfits’.
"I think they must be jealous as I do have a good body. I’m a size eight, 5’7'', I don’t go to the gym and I don’t have to watch what I eat.
"A lot of these ladies are bigger and less sexy after having children and I think it annoys them that I look so good. If jealousy is an illness, I hope they all get better soon."
The social isolation doesn't end there, as the London-based mum also receives a lot of attention while out shopping in the supermarket.
Cohen explained: "One time I wore a satin slip dress with a slit up the leg down [to] the shops.
"The wind blew the dress up as I was walking down the high street and that got me some bad looks, but I don’t care.
"I’ve worn the same thing on the school run too. The girls in my son’s class always compliment my outfits – they think I look great.
"Sadly their mums don’t feel the same, but what can I do? I’m not going to change who I am to please them."
