Pushy mum at school annoying me

Yes, my judgement is probably clouded by the fact that I became friendly with this mum a few months back and quite quickly realised that’s she’s extremely overbearing, arrogant and quite frankly rude.
She seemed perfectly nice at first, but then I realised she started correcting how I speak to my children, what I do in my spare time and when I invited her to my house, she bossed me around pretty badly and I felt really uncomfortable. So I let things go cold, with no confrontation and I’m polite when I do see her.

Anyhow, I keep seeing her pushing her way into the kids classroom. She’s somehow always in there, doing one thing or another / talking to the teachers. We aren’t supposed to go into their classroom. Every parent respects this, apart from her. I think it’s disrespectful for the teachers, who probably don’t want to tell her to stop doing it ( private school ). I also don’t like her being around my DD / talking to her when I’m not there. She’s been really overbearing in her relationship with my DD and I just don’t like it. I don’t like her and I don’t want her near me or near my child.

And because I know her personality and how pushy she is, it really annoys me when I see her overstepping at school in my child’s space.

Maybe speak to the teachers/ head and complain, explaining you are not comfortable with her being around your DD

Unless you’ve got an example of something she’s done to upset your daughter, and this incident happened when she was in the classroom, I don’t think you can complain to the school. They’re not the arbiter of parent disputes. You need to stand your own ground, doing so in your own home would have been easiest. I would wait until she did something specific (like correcting how you speak to your child) and set a boundary with her. “I can choose the words I use with my child thankyou” for example.

Yeah I definitely will not talk to the school - that was near my intention. I guess I just wanted to vent, because find it irritating.
