My best friend always got abit anxious/paranoid on the school run. There were 2-3 mums she would say to me thought they were better than us/ignored us. I didnt see an issue and used to say not to worry and just chat to people who are nice to you. We were just dropping off and picking up the kids from school. It was an issue my friend had because the women was pretty and always dresses for the gym. I think she felt insecure. Even though she also does the gym.
She still had a few mums on her Facebook from the playground. So she had obviously swapped names. Id added a couple that I'd got to know too. But she remained anxious about certain mums.
In lockdown she chose to send her child. I kept mine off. She said to me on the phone the other day the blonde mum she always called a rude bitch to me etc was actually nice. I then noticed she's added her on Facebook. She's walked to school one morning with another one that approached her at the gates. She also didn't like this women at all and said she was rude..... Which she was one day after school when my child fell over on the path. She glared at us as I was helping my daughter up and pushed past. She did do it in an abrupt way. But I didn't particularly care. She's also added her onto Facebook. She's also added the best friend of the first lady she didn't like too.
My friends nice in every other way. I'm just feeling abit unconfident about September and now she's made friends with many of the mums our kids are in class with, having spent half the year slating them. I don't feel jelous about it. But it's made me see my friend differently. I normally feel very protective of her. But she's been swapping full names and getting to know them and I suppose I feel left behind now. I've always smiled and said hello but I never pushed further with conversation to support my friend who was worried to go to the gates some days. She felt judged and uncomfortable.
I took my child into school for a session yesterday too. The mums I used to speak to all were friendly. But their kids all have started doing dancing together. They were arranging uniform and I felt abit alone even though there was no nastiness. It was like they all were close. Their kids seem very close too. My daughter is close to my friends son but is yet to be close to any girls. She seemed to mix a little with some girls but she never seemed to have the bestie that the others all made. I just hope she will find some friends in September as it feels like everyone else's children have got strong friendships already. Some of the girls were waiting to see a particular friend and it felt my daughter didn't have that.
Would you feel annoyed at a friend suddenly befriending the women she had slated to you for so long?
I feel like I've been locked away since march and cut off. So I guess I do feel I've missed out.
Meh
Feel free to tell me I'm pathetic
