year 2 daughter accused bullying

my 7 year old daughter has been coming home lots in tears recently saying that a girl in her class has been mean to her. She had another close friend and this other girl joined the class a few months ago and my daughter seems to be the left one out now. I was quite surprised, as my dd is so upset at this girls behaviour, when the teacher called me over a few days ago to say that this girl's Mum has been into the school a few times in an 'aggressive' manner (teachers words about this Mum)and saying that my daughter is bullying her daughter. The teacher said she wanted to warn me about it as the Mum was being aggressive and she felt that the way she was talking about my daughter was 'unpleasant'. She was worried that this Mum would confront me in the playground and wanted to warn me. She said it's silly, that no bullying is going on just low level normal year 2 stuff which they all do from time to time, making and breaking friends etc. The Mum has requested a meeting, but the teacher refused saying 'about what, there is no need?' and I said that I wouldn't want a meeting with all of us there anyway if this parent is 'aggressive'. I now feel uncomfortable (not to mention angry, how dare she say unpleasant things about my daughter ,calling her names?) The teacher did say that this girl is her eldest (my dd is youngest of 3) and that may be why she's over interfering in normal stuff. She couldn't give a single specific example of 'bullying' and kept repeating that my dd isn't a bully. I've spoken to my dd about being kind and maybe trying to play with other girls. What else can I do? This Mum has my number and sent me a text a few weeks back which I ignored (teacher said this was the best thing to do, ignore it, I didn't want to get into a tit for tat back and forth exchange). The crazy thing is, my daughter has been complaining about this girl and now she's being called a bully. We've a few more years left in this school. The teacher gave me the impression she's quite aggressive and I feel like I need to watch my back now!

blimey!

Do your best to avoid. Do you have friends in the playground you can stand with? Try not to be on your own.

When do you break up for half term?

Sounds like the teacher's got your DD's back.

I’d block the other mum’s number on your mobile for a start.

I'm a drop and run kind of Mum and a lot of them have younger children, so tend to get there early and chat. I'm not even sure what the Mum looks like to be honest! (have a vague idea) but I'm glad the teacher warned me. I'm worried as to how aggressive she was if the teacher felt the need to warn me and tell me which door to use to escape into the school building if I'm ambushed
