Not to let my DS to play because they have a problem with me & DH

[heathermumof3]

A couple on my street are that sad and perfectic in my eyes for not letting my 7 year old DS play with there son. When my son calls for theres and they have sht the door in his face, told there child not to talk or play with him. When there child is playing out with one of my DS friends they have told him that if my DS asks to play there child has to come home.
I am so mad I feel like smacking them in the face and I am not a voilent person.
It started a year ago. The couples sister was in our house slagging off her brother inlaw. We made a comment saying that we don't think that her brother inlaw likes us as every time we try to speak to him he put's his head down and won't speak back. A week later I seen the woman at school and went to say hi. She snapped at me saying how upset her husband was because we had called him ignorant. I felt terrible so me & my DH went round with a bottle and a can to apologise. Since then they have never talked to us. Blanked us in the street and now is forcing our kids to stay away from each other.
AIBU to think they are being horrid to my child and being so childish not to speak to us.
If they have a problem with me or my DH fine but tae it out my DS

Lol at mumsne pumpkin
Perhaps you should preview your posts

Blu MN has (thankfully) always been snotty over grammar.

Just because you want to know pumpkin, don't assume other people feel the same.

Usually correcting grammar on here is done by posters who feel they must express their superiority by putting other posters down.

A 'very npleasant read'? Then don't spend any more time on the thread if it offends your sensibilities.

Only a few people are that bothered to waste their time in such a way rhinestone.

Thank fuck.

Blu. One thing is a typo (which is a one-off); quite another is filling up a post with the same mistaken ("there") over and over.
I didn't do it out of malice but to offer a helpful piece of info which, quite frankly, to a mum of three children can come useful when those DC do their homework.

Besides, "there" instead of "their" makes for a very npleasant read, I thought mumsne was the place where we tell each other what we think!

yes it it pumpkin carver but it is not a thread about comprehension it is a thread about emotions and feelings and how we deal with them. By the way if you want to be fickle its unpleasant not npleasant and mumsnet not mumsne

God I hate the snotty grammar/spelling correcting on MN

It is so boring ,just like the people that feel the need to do it really

OP, so a kid where you live won't play with your son, and nor will that kid's friend. That happens to most kids at one time or another. There is nothing you can do about it, except teach your DS how to deal with such situations. Forget about them and concentrate on making your own DS happy this summer.

Hear,hear usual

Or should i say...

Here,here...

what was in the can?

ear ,ear surely
that will get their knickers in a knot

Usual, they can closet themselves away alongside the posters who ask what the point of the thread is, or why it's posted in AIBU when it's clearly just chat.

again, typos and not knowing how to spell are different. If I had been surrounded by people like you when I was trying to learn English I would still be at beginners' level!
Anyway, you're all making this an even bigger issue than it was supposed to be. I simply wanted to let OP know the difference between "there" and "their" so that her posts can be more smoothily read (and that she herself can make sure her DC know the difference when they do their homework). It's worth learning it and it's not that fucking difficult .

Well we will all be eternally grateful, pumpkincarver

I most certainly am

Hi Heathermum.
What do you think the way forward might be? I think you have 2 options. You either ignore the issue and accept son won't be allowed to play with other boy. Or, if you really feel that you want this situation resolved so that boys can play together, go to this family's house, apologise for your part in this incident, explain that you don't want any ill feeling and let them know how this is affecting your son. When you have face to face conversations like this it's an effective way to get rid of the fear and distrust people have for each other.
I hope you find a way to solve this. x

It's not fucking difficult for some of us but it is for others.

Yes it's worth learning the correct spelling but you don't need to get snippy about it.

Oh,and surely smoothly...not smoothily.

Just saying.

ill *haverto8 be very carefull in future with my grammar

Yes it's worth learning the correct spelling but you don't need to get snippy about it.

pmsl

oooh Pumpkin Carver get back in the knife drawer Miss Sharp!!

To be fair, I hassled someone about their crap spelling just recently, but she was extremely rude to me and I knew it would annoy her. It did. She said 'Thats it your reported'

Can't see what the need for it was here though.

OP, sadly I suspect you may find netmums a friendlier place.

It is gutting when you feel your child is being excluded from playing with children he perceives to be friends. I think the best you can do is explain to your child that adults, sometimes, are childish.

How does he get on with the other child at school?

how can someone critisise others whilst making numerous typos themselves? Surely you'd be careful so you didnt end up looking foolish.
