AIBU not letting my ds have a play date because I don't like his friend's mum?

[StandardHeight]

My ds is just finishing reception year. He made friends with a boy who has now left and gone to another school but we still see them from time to time at after school activities. His mum is someone who I'd prefer to keep a distance from, she's shown signs of being quite aggressive and someone who is bitter and spiteful. I don't want anything to do with her really. But my ds misses her son and wants to see him. I'm avoiding it. AIBU. WWYD?

I think you're being incrediably shitty.

How the mum behaves and weather you like her or not has no bearing whatsoever on the friendship that the two boys have made.

You need to put your selfishness aside and just get on with it, your son should come first. If they miss each other, make arrangements to see him.

Simple really

I'd like to say I'd put myself out to let his see the boy.

Truthfully, I'd probably let it drift until my DC forgot about it.

They still see each other anyway.

If he's not seeing this other child day to day other than if you make a special effort then just say no, he can't have a playdate. He'll soon move on to other friends as kids are fickle buggers, and you won't have to ever see the mother again.

Problem solved.
