I know a woman, she is rather nuts but I like to be friendly and overall she's always been quite nice to me , albeit it very judging of me losing my mum at an early age.
Been to her parties, her kids have been to mine.
Kids are all growing up now and in years 4 and 2 and have their own friends. I did a Halloween party and asked them who they want to come.
Fyi, their whole classes were not invited only 1 from class and others were friends they have met along the way who they adore.
I ended up having them, but having to not invite some even of their closer friends just purely down to having a 2 bedroom bungalow. It's small. And I could not also cope with anymore than the kids I squeezed in.(17!!)
This one mum, her kids and mine do not play together, at all. We say hi and my kids don't hate them or do anything nasty at all we are friendly people but truth be told they don't play.
The mum has blanked me and my husband for weeks now, and I saw her at a party and it happened again. So I asked, everything ok?
Big mistake she went for my jugular, really angry, going nuts, I tried to explain but she wasn't having it. I was the devil recarnate!
I just feel to be honest, it's insane. To go so mad at someone. Worst bit is everyone was drinking so obviously I didn't maybe act how I should of, I was really sucking up to her to calm her down as it was a friend's birthday. Hindsight, I think I should of stayed strong. I didn't mean to purposely leave anyone out! And I'm one person I had to stop with numbers somewhere. This is the gods honest truth.
Later in the evening she went at me for wearing makeup up, told me not to sell my house out right, and then also said why do I even do kids parties anyway it's ott and I obviously cannot handle it ..
I get anxiety , and yeah sometimes things over whelm me..but truth is I love my kids and just try create memories.
