To think she has singled my DS out.

[slatternlymother]

There is a mum in the nursery I have a bit of history with. She was a friend, but inexplicably turned on me a few months ago (I think because she couldn't manipulate me any longer because I was getting stronger after my PND). Anyway, we no longer get on at all.

Her DD goes to the same nursery as my DS, and I found out she sent every other child in the nursery a Christmas card apart from my DS.

I have sent her DD a card.

I feel quite cross. She's left my little boy out of a Christmas card, even though our DC get on, because she doesn't like me.

AIBU?

She has done this to upset you. Don't let it. Don't be interested or upset, don't pass comment.

whaat will really piss her off is thatyou are continuing to be nice to her. evry time you see her offer a cheery "good morning/afternoon"

yes what blackeyedsusan said!

YANBU, that was pretty nasty of her.
I would feel upset for my DS if that happened to him, we get very protective of our kids and nobody likes to feel left out.
Fwiw I'm sure your DS probably wouldn't have even noticed, they tend to get a couple per day so they just wouldn't notice other kids have got an extra one.
She's just proven how nasty she is to do that to a kid and you are clearly the better person as you have sent one to her dd.
But please don't let a Xmas card upset you too much.

Merry christmas

Did you post about her before?

Do you know what you need to do? Stop giving her 'power' by being bothered! The best thing you can do is not care or think about her at all, just carry on being polite if you see her but show you are not bothered by her silly little actions by smiling through and carrying in with your day. That will annoy her, what you are doing now - getting upset - is what she wants. Don't do it anymore!

mammatj I have, she just keeps doing weird little things like this; just little things that add up into making things feel quite horrid. She's done it to others so I know it isn't just me.

You say she has done these sorts of things to other people too,that just proves that you have nothing to feel personally upset about.She is just that sort of person,in the end she will be her own worst enemy.

Not everyone in the world is decent,or rational,or fair.Some of them are just numpties.That's her category,by the sound of it.

Just steer clear of her and concentrate on more positive people.The kids have the right idea...they play together(only because they actually like each other!)and live in the moment.

YANBU to feel annoyed but you would be vv unreasonable to let her know that you are - because you're giving her what she wants.

And personally if she's determined to pointedly blank you I would either a) blank her or b) say hi in such a ridiculously OTT way that you are quite clearly taking the piss. Then have a good laugh.
