I think I've already decided but I've no DP around at the mo so I'm wavering as to whether I've got my head on straight...
Dd has been invited to a party. They used to be friends but I can see they have drifted apart (she says he smacks her and pinches her - I've always said to go to the teacher if it's on purpose and he hurts her)
He's invited her to his party. It's an activity thing. Which she also doesn't want to do. Nothing crazy but she's not one for new things.
His mum and I have an interesting past...she originally blanked me for ages at school (including diving into an alleyway to avoid me) then went all nicely and smiley and hounded me so she could invite herself round for a play date (which was horrific and is a whole thread in itself) then when that ended badly she went back to ignoring me. DH suspects she hates me. Found out I work from home so good for childcare. Trying to ingratiate herself and get them together. Then when it didn't work out and she couldn't say 'oh they play so well together we should do this more often' she buggered off again and found another mug mum
I don't want it to trigger off more hassle/blanking/bitchy comments. But I don't think she should go. If it was someone else I think I'd try to push her into trying something new (she'd probably really like it!) But as she says 'I've given you two good reasons' (!) so I feel I should respect her. It's just my dp says to not let my mistrust of his mum colour my judgement.
Phew that's a long rant. Thanks for getting to the end of it. I just wanted some other perspectives.
