To let this school mum dig her own grave....

Don't want to say too much because I think this woman has either mental or emotional issues. Needless to say I wasn't really friends with her (our DS are in the same year but not the same class), then she started messaging me on Facebook, we became FB friends and then she sort of 'turned on me' accused me of not being friendly on the school run. I challenged her - all via FB and I tried to be friends with her as I felt sorry for her - she got very nasty saying none of the mums liked me; to be fair I don't do the school run because I have to commute into the City so am always in a rush. She upset me so ended up unfriending her - I also felt she was stalking me - then today I notice she has blocked me from her posts. Not that I wanted to see them but that we have a Facebook page for the school mums and dads - which she admins. So I can't comment on anything she puts up - although I can see it. She's quite active at school and with a number of local charities. I nearly sent her a message, but I think she is trying to cause a confrontation which I really don't want. I work 50 hours a week - she's a SAHM who appears to have a lot of time on her hands - I say this because she has bullied other people. I reckon as we go through the school her behaviour may get worse towards me, as this all happened a few months ago and the blocking only yesterday (i think) should I be worried. Anyone else gone through this?

she's nuts. keep a low profile and she'll turn on someone else. don't get involved and she'll end up alienating herself in the end

Agree about keeping the nasty comment. She's an absolute dick to say that to you. Otherwise, absolutely ignore her.

Never respond to anything nasty via social media, text or email. Read the message then confront about it face to face. People can be really horrible behind a screen.

I have lots of respect for SAHPs, but some of us need more to occupy our brains everyday or we end up making mountains out of every mole-hill we come across, which sounds like what has happened to that poor woman.

Not that anyone who has a job has ever made a mountain out of a molehill, no never.

It's funny Atenco as your comment reads as if you have no respect at all for SAHP.

Atenco · 09/12/2015 17:22

If the cap fits, Srsly. Some people find being a SAHP very fulfilling, some people, like myself, are just not suited to being SAHP.

I really learnt this when I had a job in a laundry. I'd have a minor disagreement with my husband before going to work and by the end of the day I had blown it into full-scale warfare. He, on the other hand, had a very interesting job, and would have completely forgotten about the upset.

She sounds toxic and she sounds like a troublemaker. Disengage totally. It sounds like she cultivates allies at the school to rally round her and she's excluding you because you didn't jump to her bidding on a few things.

Keep your complete distance from her. Do keep friendly with the other moms when you have the chance and hopefully they won't be influenced by her if she tries to gossip about you.

Neveradullm0ment · 09/12/2015 17:41

Thanks little-beauty I'm friendly with all the mums. I think that may annoy her too. But as everyone is telling me - leave alone.

Disengage. You can't reason with an unreasonable person so stop trying.

BoffinMum · 09/12/2015 18:04

Disengage and get one of the other parents to update you with things you need to know. She has ishoos. Ignore her, she is silly.
