I have been friends with a "friend" for around 4 years. Our children went to preschool together and they started school together. Over the last year my child has started to grow distant from my friends child because they are getting annoyed with how rude my friends child is towards him. My friends child refuses to share, makes horrible remarks and when my child gets a "new" friend at school, my friends child says hurtful comments like "you can't play with us" and pushes my child around in the playground, even though my child has made friends with the other "new" child.
I have always maintained a decent relationship with my friend and have often not pulled her up on the issues my child has with her child. If I ever did she would only reply saying "kids will be kids" and would never want to sort the issue out. She often also upsets my child by making a song and dance by making a huge point that my child is not being invited to parties and not getting top results in tests at school - wheres her child often gets the top results. I have asked her to stop mentioning parties in front of my child however she doesn't. My child doesn't often care now as she does it so often but it is still not nice behaviour from a adult.
In the holidays she started getting arsey over me spending time with my family rather than her. She explained by text she "did not like sharing me". I let it slide and just got on with the holidays and enjoyed my family time.
Our children started back at school in September - our children were put in the same class however my child did not pick her child to go up to the next class with, however her child picked my child. On the first week back she started asking me to take her child into school because she needed to walk her dog up to the school. She said she couldn't leave her dog at the school gates and she needs to get home ASAP with her dog as she needed to go and do 2 hours of work at mid-day.
Over the past 4 weeks I have been taking her child into school at least once a week (she has been asking for more however I try and ignore her messages). I am getting increasingly annoyed over the arrangement. One morning she decided to ring my home at 7.40am to ask me to take her child in to school. My partner works shifts and that evening he had been on nights. Other times she texts or rings late at night or early in the morning again disrupting us.
My child had a issue at school today which means I would like to go into the school tomorrow and sort the issue out. She text me to ask me to take her child into school, so I replied that i would be unable to as I needed to sort my own child's issue out - baring in mind I have taken her child into school numerous amounts of times in the past 4 weeks. She replied with a blunt text saying that she couldn't understand why I couldn't "shove her child into the door as I was walking that way".
I have got to the point where I really want to start cutting ties with her as I don't believe friends should treat their friends like she does. Due to her being so rude to me tonight, I do not wish to do her any favours.
Some mornings I have been stood in the playground for over 15 mins with her child as well as mine. My time with my child is more important to me than having to watch and interact with her child who is often rude to my child and runs off meaning I ƒhave to spend a further amount of time getting her child into school.
She does not do any favours for me - I do not ask her to as I see my child as my responsibility and I turn stuff down often due to the lack of help with childcare I have.
Am I being unreasonable to be annoyed with the ongoing issues I have and what can I say to my "friend" to stop any more arrangements of walking her child into school. Her attitude is that I am "walking that way" so why can't I do it and I am selfish not to do it.
