Hi, I am a little embarressed to say the least to need to ask for help on this issue but I have never concieved I would need to face this sort of problem. I think I am becoming the victim of bullying as a parent, incredible I know but I am crumbling into a state of feeling is it me going insane or is it fact?
It's a case of my little boy wants to be friends with another little boy in his class and the mother is giving me the impression that she hates my son and is really rude to him and I get so angry but being the person I am I feel too scared to make an issue of it and am encouraging my son to make new friends without saying anything detrimental towards this other little boy but it seems the mother doesn't really care what attitude she has towards my son, she is really rude to him and about him, she thinks he is naughty and honestly, that is the last thing he is. I am getting to the point of wanting to put my boy in a different school as she is making me feel as if we are not good enough for her son, she is very snooty and despite my boy being a loving and friendly little chap, also with his foibles (as all children have), it seems she simply doesn't wish to have any involvement at all. I don't wish to push it and force anyone into anything and am quite happy to keep my distance but she has recently moved into my street and almost directly opposite me.
I think she thinks I am too stupid to work out her looks, words and actions, but I am far from it, I maybe a nervy type of person but I know how to read body language and usually act on my instincts and they are very negative ones. I don't know how to explain to my son either that his best schoolmate's parent/s don't really want him to go to their house, yet I have had their son to mine quite a few times and with pleasure, I don't think I'd ever trust them with my son ever again anyway now, even if the situation did change. I want to say that if she wants to pick on someone her own size then come for it, but I don't want trouble at school for my boy, but in a round about way she is getting at me as my circle of friends has to change as a result of her being in it, I can't go to any of them in confidence as that would backfire on me and I would look like the malicious one, so I am over a barrel on this one.
A very awkward situation and one I feel very hurt about. Most of the things she says and does are out of sight and earshot of the other friends and she portrays herself as an angel too. She is so sly. Advice welcome please.
