Hi there! I read AIBU/WWYD all the time but first time poster… I have a terrible situation which is doing my head in and I want to know if I am being precious and creating my own trouble.....
We have lived for over 4 years now in a small town where everyone is nice to your face but that is about it … small community where everyone knows each other for longgggg time and not really open to ‘foreigners’. My DD is 8 and has had the same BF since she was 5, this girls mum has always being ‘nice’ to my face and we have had several playdates/sleepovers in both houses (mostly mine but that is not the problem…) etc… since last year or so it seems that this mum is purposely trying to separate the girls, not sure why, trying always to exclude my daughter from any outside schools activities, even though both girls are dying to hang out together, it is nothing she says but a feeling that I get all the time … day in, day out , I have to deal with my disappointed DD when the plans they have done are cancel or not supported by this mum…I have tried my DD to see other friends and she does and I have told her that maybe is better to be just BF during school but it doesn’t seem to stick to her or to the BF….
I am basically at the end of my tether and as much as I don’t want to bring it out with the mum as I think it should be the girls dealing with it … I am sick and tired of seeing my DD constantly sad ….? I have to say that when we have the playdates is only the kids… I am not hanging out with the mum and we are not friends not socially or anywhere so it is only the girls and the girl always seems to enjoy coming here and doesn’t seem to be the one with the problem…. So not sure what the issue could be …. WWYD if you were me?? Would you just keep talking to your DD and try just to encourage other kids to play with .. or would you ask directly the mum (I am not good in confrontation) what the hell is going on? Do nothing and keep having a miserable child?? Have you ever had anything like this?? Thanks a lot in advance!
