well...in that case....I reckon she is embarraseed about her son, and in that embarrassed momment it came out a wee bit tactless!!!

I know that when I am feeling bad and low about MY parenting skills, I come across as rude at timesblush.

try not to worry.....she is probably at home feeling as bad as you!1!!

She's obviously really very rude. I'd ignore her, don't bother keeping your son away, let her make a fool of herself trying to obviously keep them apart.

Then the kids can see that it's her being a silly cow. If she doesn't want them together, rather than offend you and your son, she shouldn't have taken hers to the party.

I think it's time to move on from her and her son if she doesn't want her boy to be a boy... what else is he meant to be, a prim little girl?

Sod her, you're better off without them.

Yes the host was a girl so lots of girls only about 4 boys although younger boys .

She has in the past been very embarrassed about her son being so boisterous so maybe didn't want to show them up so kept them apart ..

maybe she feels embarrassed about them being 'typical boys'

was it a 'girls' party (ie...smug mums of girls there??)

oops not sure how but i have two threads going shock Not sure why she wants to keep them apart other than they are typical boys & can jump & play around but nothing to hurt anyone or upset the party ..

light hearted response says that she is up her own arse, and slap her...

but

that won;t help, so I just say.....<hugs>

((sorry for lack of helpful advice, but I don;t know how to help))

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 .

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
