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

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

[...] but it is for others. Now that is patronising! I'm sure Heathermumof3 does understand the explanation I gave her. You obviously aren't.

ledkr, typos are typos, not the consistent and repeated same identical mistake which makes reading unpleasant.

don't not aren't tsk tsk

reelingintheyears · 01/08/2011 23:15

Ooops to you.

There is always 2 sides to everything, have you tried thinking about it from their view?
Could your son have done something whilst playing with their son and the other children that may have upset them or their son?
Its always better to get things out in the open and my advice is take a deep breath and go round there and ask what the issue is, what the problem is and how you can sort it out.

If not you will never know!

We are all defensive when it comes to our children but there may be an underlying issue that needs talking about.

It is so hard when you have probs with neighbours and makes the school run/playing out thing so uncomfortable, you don't need this and it is obviously making you unhappy, what have you got to lose by being civil, and going round and trying to sort it out? Worse case scenario, she slams door in your face then its her problem and you move on. Best case, you become friends.

Big spots are unpleasant as are dirty nappies and crocs, reading a few mistakes could never be described as unpleasant,that is an incorrect use of the word.

Curiousmama · 01/08/2011 23:19

Never heard of smoothily? Hmm

Op yanbu to be upset, your dcs hurt, you hurt, it's simple. They are a load of fuckers (parents) for not accepting your apology.

I'd try to step back from it and see how the dcs sort it themselves?

And btw fuck the grammar Smile

pumpkincarver · 01/08/2011 23:19

ledkr, you're wrong: in that sentence I say "I'm sure [...], you obviously aren't".

ilovesooty · 01/08/2011 23:20

Surely what people find unpleasant is a very individual perception though?

reelingintheyears · 01/08/2011 23:20

Ooops again......i forgot the capital 'E' on [Embarrassed]

(illiterate emoticon)

reelingintheyears · 01/08/2011 23:22

OK...so why is'nt [embarrassed] working?

reelingintheyears · 01/08/2011 23:23

I'm thick...it's Blush......Blush

hairfullofsnakes · 01/08/2011 23:23

Pmsl at pumpkin's snooty twatty posts that are full of errors

You are quite right ledkr to point out to her it is 'don't' not 'aren't'

Pumkin - if you are going to try and correct someone else's grammar, make sure yours is right first. So listen, saying 'aren't' sounds like a five year old and it is 'smoothly' not smoothily

Duh...

Curiousmama · 01/08/2011 23:23

try blush in [ ]

pictish · 01/08/2011 23:24

hee! Grin

Well done reeling [toothysmile]

Detention for reeling

ledkr · 01/08/2011 23:26

At the end of the day its just rude and unecessary to correct a peer with their literacy,thats it really.

reelingintheyears · 01/08/2011 23:26

How many lines shall i do?

pictish · 01/08/2011 23:27

Unless they are very rude first and you know it will annoy them - disclaimer.
