Hello, I'm new on here! Basically, a friend of mine who's always made a fuss of my son, (he's four, a gorgeous little boy with a speech + language delay which makes him hard to understand), has started snubbing him in the school playground. (We are both there every afternoon picking up our older children).
When he approaches her now she pulls a face/mutters under her breath. She thinks neither of us notice, obviously my son doesn't but I do. She then talks to him in a patronising tone + makes forced conv. with me.
I've tried everything to destract him from looking out for her, taking snacks, waiting in a different place, etc, (it's a small school so there aren't many places to hide!), but he always sees her + heads straight over, gets very upset when I lead him away.
If she was a mum I didn't know that well I wouldn't be upset, but we've known each other for some years now, + I've always been the first person she contacts if she's running late at work + wants me to pick her daughter up, etc, I've run around for her a lot over the last year, less inclined to now!
Would I be unreasonable to have it out with her, starting to dread the school runs!
