When friend ignores you and talk to my kids

[Honeybu]

Should I tell this friend to stop talking to my child who is 7, she only talk to her when I’m there and ignore her when I’m not during school pick up. It’s a long story we used to be friends but suddenly she ignores me.

I think I understand what you mean OP. So you used to be friends but now she ignores you but continues to speak to your child?

I had similar with another parent in school. We were friendly and then she took umbrage against something I said / did. No idea what as she never said anything but just started giving me dirty looks and not replying to “Hello” but still she would talk directly to my son.

I wouldn’t say anything. Just pull your child away and talk over her as though she’s not there. This really is the only come back and will put her in her place.

Some adults It seems never left school!

@Symphony830 this is exactly my situation I will start to do as you said. The funny thing is she ignores my daughter when I’m not there but talks to her in front of the me

I think being blanked as though you’re not there is possibly worse than dirty looks. I’m sure she’ll get it.

It is tedious though. I’ve had to put up with the weirdness for 2yrs now and have another 2 to go. In any other environment I’d have approached for an explanation as I just want peace. Sigh
