To feel uncomfortable?

I don't know if I am being sensitive so looking for a perspective here.

There's this couple from Nursery, my DC is good friends with theirs. When DH met them first at drop off, he told them I was expecting my second and when I had baby they dropped us cooked dinner which was absolutely lovely. They hadn't met me in person at this point. But DH made a group chat so we can arrange play dates. Since then I find them to be overly familiar, particularly with DH and every single time I met them, they seem to make really snide comments about me which makes me really uncomfortable. E.g : one time at play date in soft play ' ohhh what a surprise to see you, we didn't think you were coming'. There was absolutely no conversation to indicate I wasn't coming and the discussion was on the group chat. The next time I saw them, the father said, ' oh nice to see you out and about with some energy! '. It was literally the second time we have been in each others company. The next time the mother came to our house as she was on her way to the park and when we opened the door , said to DH ' oh shame you are working as I thought you might want to come to the park with us' and then to me ' I can take DS if you like' . Then the last time, today to their DC ' this is XX'a mum, you don't seem to recognise her' .their kid was asking me to pick him up, literally, so quite the opposite.

I know these sound really light things but it really grinds me the wrong way. It's as if every time they see me with my family, they are surprised by it. It really makes me uncomfortable and I just feel like somehow questioned for my presence. Like they are a bud disappointed. I can't explain it. Please tell me i am been too sensitive and should give my head a good wobble......

I'm guessing if your husband is doing all the pick ups etc they're used to seeing more of him out and about and think you prefer to stay at home with the baby or aren't as confident being out of the house.
They might ask where you are and he says something along the lines of "oh, she's tired/feeding baby/cooking dinner/having a nap" etc etc Is your husband the more chatty, outgoing one? That could be why.

I would be wondering what your husband has been saying.

Either way they sound a bit pass remarkable twats.

Ask them "what do you mean?" Every single time.

See less of them.
