This’s been on my mind for quite some time now I don’t think I can be brief so it might be a long thread.
I got a bit close to a school mom, nothing too serious just occasional chat in the park, discussing our children and a few playdates. I liked to keep it simple with her because I noticed her badmouthing people but recently she crossed the line.
We were sat at the school lunch hall waiting for the childrens performance when a mom arrived late and she said “ look at her shes always late her kids are always late shes in her own world” to which I said “maybe shes going through things you never know” to which she said “ yeah all the time hahaha”.
Next she commented on a parent for “ looking like he owns the place”. I started to feel really uneasy around her and thought I will distance myself from her.
Theres been a few incidents with her and my child. Her child can be rude and bossy most of the time. I did try to resolve this with her but she would just brush it under the carpet. A parent approached her at the school playgroung asking her to tell her child to stop bullying his. Of course she became defensive like her precious child wouldnt hurt a fly.
I also caught her being too faced. She told me how another child has been bossing her child around so shes decided to stop the friendships and the next day she was giving that exact same child a friendship bracelet from her child. I wanted to roll my eyes 😂
It’s very hard to ignore her but how do I distance myself from her. So far I’ve tried arriving right before school drop off and pick up and it works 99% however I do see her at kids parties and she always comes to me and starts with the negative talk about other parents. So how do I distance myself from her once and for all when I see her at parties. Also I say Im busy during weekends so dont have to meet her.
