Ok a year ago I met another mum in school with a child with the same an as mine. She seemed nice and we got on really well, the only thing was she did a lot of... Bitching... But the boys were good friends so I just ignored and avoided any conversations about others. As I have school holidays off I did a lot of baby sitting for her lad with SN, not easy with 2 of them but I was happy to do it to save her money as we were friends.
In the past couple of months I noticed she only ever called me when the holidays were coming up to ask me to have her son or when we were taking both the boys to a lesson as I was the driver.
Anyway she stopped coming to said lesson for a month now. Different excuses each week and I wasn't really bothered as it was easier with one. Then I found out she was going on a different day with someone else.
So I thought about it and decided she didn't want to be friends and that was ok, friendships run their course and the kids are now in different schools (my son in special) so I just stopped texting her and ringing her. There was no contact for a bit.
She then rang yesterday to ask if I'd have her son for a few weeks in the holidays, I said I an sorry but I have other plans this year. She then hung up and text a few minutes later going mad at me for saying no and saying it was all about the horse riding.
I told her that I was annoyed she hadn't told me but she never really spoke to me anymore so I have made other plans with other mums.
She then went on to a group we are on on fb (one i run in rl too support for the SN our sons have) and started posting very personal things about me that I had told her in confidence, the posts were immediately deleted and she was banned and I immediately blocked her. Then she started texting me saying she was coming round to hit me and calling my son a lot of not very nice names. I text her back saying if she came to my home I would call the police and to calm down. Then didn't reply to the massive amounts of texts I got.
This was all last night.
This morning a mum from school came up to me and told me she has been spreading a load of lies about me on fb.new rant every 10 minutes. I laughed and said to ignore it, it's just childish and I wouldn't reply, the other mum said I should stick up for myself more.
My argument is; she's lost free childcare, she's shown herself up in front of everyone in the only support group around here, she's continuing to show herself up on fb.
I don't feel like stooping to her level and putting things on Facebook...I'm 24 not 15. (she is 32 by the way also not 15)
But the other mum seemed to think I was being a bit of a push over letting her say what she likes.
Don't get me wrong I am very upset by this but I figure anyone who believes a grown woman ranting on Facebook isn't really worth the hassle anyway? AIBU to just ignore or should I do something ?
