long story cut short:
group of kids play out locally my ds included. All started last Summer so about a year now. Lovely, all mums agreed! Say three months ago, had a small problem that I knocked on my neighbours door about, all sorted. (Ds's coat had been found in the bin when we could not find it in the morning) Everyone out playing, knocking on my DS too as usual. Then something bigger happened and I ended up knocking again only a couple of days later, BUT it was all friendly, I'm friendly, and it all Ok at the time.
Oh no!
This mum had gone to see the other mum and had banned their boys from playing with my DS. So you can imagine it 'Go away, we can't play with you'. There was a water fight, the first mum says when my DS asked her 'please why not' 'because your mum keeps coming knocking'.
The second mum agreed to get the boys all together and start again, but pulled out at the last minute and said she wanted the 'ban' to stay.
Two months later now.
I always say hello if I see them, (boys or mum) 80% no response. Have lost a lot of sleep over this. Have taken all the advice to 'leave it alone'..
But last week AT SCHOOL the elder of the two 'banned' boys is excluding my son in the dodge tag game (practically all the boys are playing this it is big at school atm and my ds loves it). It started with just that boy but he is YR6 and on Monday my DS (yr 4) had 'a big gang of them' shouting at him to go away, so he went to the head. He's not a cryer BTW, he stood his ground before then but said' mum they were shouting so loud I could not speak'
Since then the boy has not said it, although others at school still are. Well 7 days to go there...
BUT AIBU to find a quite time to knock on the two mums doors and ask that we start again, so we can have a friendly summer? Do I rather go with my DS?
I feel so sad that I have got this so wrong for my DS, and I do not lack the courage to what is required, but I just don't know what's right.
I have lived here 6 years, this is a large village in the countryside...
Thank you for your time to read, and ANY comments even one word - I'd be soo grateful xx Y
