DS is at primary school and I got talking to his friends mum a while back. We started walking home together on an afternoon from school and this progressed to going to each other’s houses for coffee after school run etc
Now I’m not sure if I like her after all! She doesn’t drive so started asking if she could come with me to do weekly shop so it was easier to get her stuff home rather than taxi’ing it. She commented on everything I bought and took the piss such as saying you’re only supposed to eat soup when you’re poorly or poor. She laughed that I bought steak for a 9 year old saying it was a bit Neanderthal and said she wouldn’t even give her 14 year old steak and she thinks she’s “too young”. My shopping came to around £50 and she said I waste so much money and “must be nice to have money to burn” etc etc!!
She asks me all sorts of questions about my private life but then tells me she doesn’t know what her husband does for a living, just that he works with computers. She doesn’t even know where he works?!
She starves herself all day then raids her sons packed lunch box on the way home from school eating the crusts off his sandwich 🤮 it makes me feel sick.
She invited me to this day trip thing with a group she’s a member off, it was on a coach and the woman behind me kept tapping me on the shoulder every 5 minutes to tell me stuff, it was driving me insane as I’m travel sick and it was making it so much worse and I ended up snapping at her telling her I can’t keep turning around as I feel sick so “friend” and this woman had a good laugh about it and kept tapping me to see how long I could ignore them. Afterwards she apologised and said she was just trying to keep the other woman happy as she’s going through a really tough time.
Yesterday I passed her walking down the street with her husband and she totally blanked me as if she didn’t know me. Then she text me apologising saying she couldn’t say hello as her husband was with her?!
I have a feeling she’s a domestic violence victim (as after looking into it, that is the main focus of the group where we went on the trip, I didn’t know at the time) so I do have sympathy for her but this friendship is doing nothing for me at all, I feel like I’m a taxi and not much else.
She’s text me asking if I want to take the kids to park today but I know she’ll want picking up etc. she even said earlier in the week that she wanted to take her son to park at weekend but couldn’t be arsed with the bus.
