My ds went to a party today & has always been friends with one of my antenatal girls son. But today she kept on pulling our two boys apart every time my ds went near him . In the end she told me that she was trying to keep them apart so i had to spend the whole time explaining to my ds that he couldn't sit with ...... because his mummy didn't want him to sit with him.. sounds silly now i've written it down but I'm really hurt and annoyed .

How old are they? What was her reasoning for you and your son.

Why does she want to keep them apart?

Nearly 4 ! & she didn't give a reason just made a flippant remake as such & then moved her son away ! She did then talk to me as in asking me how i was but i was so hurt that i just said oh fine thanks & swiftly moved on . They are typical boys but not in a nasty way & never hurt each other so not sure why . Although the last couple of times we have got together she has commented that it should be when they are at nursery.

She sounds like a precious bitch. Ignore her! She'll soon realise she can't control everything her DS does and that he is his own, albeit little, person.

She has a problem with your son.

The problem is hers, not yours.

If she's a true friend, she'll tell you what her problem is.

"she has commented that it should be when they are at nursery." What, she thinks you should only talk when they're at nursery??? Getting weirder...

What a strange way of dealing with whatever she sees as the problem. I'm guessing she thinks there is some kind of 'issue' with the way your two boys get on. Presumably, because they are three, I'm guessing it has something to do with some kind of fighting, but I can't see why she wouldn't explain her concerns properly.
I would be very hurt if someone treated my little boy in such a stupid and childish manner. Mind you, he probably has no idea what's going on, so he probably is less/not upset.
I don't really know what to suggest, but I do want to say I disagree with her behaviour.
I suppose, if you want to stay friends with her then you could tell her that you are very hurt at the way she is treating your little boy and that you want her to tell you exactly what the problem is and to find a mutual resolution, meaning one where you all get together and discuss whatever has happened.
Or you could put a big spider in her handbag.

I'm not surprised, that you are hurt. If it had been me I would have gone ballistic. What has your child done? How dare she lack so much manners and treat a small boy like that.

The biggest loser is her own son.

I was hurt but you are right my ds just said can i play with ..... another day and i said yes so he was totally unaware .. I think it's been me who has tried to be friends more than her so maybe she is telling me something which i've been slow to pick up on! But like you said it's a knock about my son and it just seems that a few close friends have commented so maybe feeling a bit sensitive . I will move on . Thanks
