And then gets cross when I don't do as she says?
I've known her for several years, our DDs are best friends, and she prides herself on her 'honesty', when in actual fact her honesty is giving opinions where they're not asked for, going on and on about 'her' point of view, trying to railroad me into doing as she says, and generally being very nosey and prying.
A few months ago I won a few toys in a competition, and gave them to the DCs straight away. When my 'friend' found out that I'd done this, she kept saying I was silly, and that I should have put them away to use as Xmas presents, and then coming up with all kinds of ways that I could still use them as Xmas presents, even though I hadn't asked for her opinion or advice on anything!
Another time I saw her on the morning school run and she asked what I was up to that day and I said that I was going to the hairdressers. She then immediately started offering advice on what she thought I should do with my hair. Along the lines of 'get them to put a dye over your blonde highlights then have a good 4 or 5 inches chopped off'. Of course, I took no notice and didn't do as she said, and then at school pick up in the afternoon she berated me for not doing as she'd said and started suggesting I phoned up the hairdressers and asked them to fit me in again later that afternoon and 'just have another few inches off'.
Honestly, I could go on and on. I want to scream every time I talk to her at the moment.
