Primary School friendship and parents

[I77tijv]

Dd is in a small rural primary school. She is in y3 and for a while has had a friend that she seems to get along with. There aren't many other girls she gets along with in the class. The only problem is her mum seems to have taken either a dislike to me or essentially just ignores all.my messages to arrange playdates or some innocuous message about the school. I don't mind whether we get along or not but worry that this will affect their friendship. Do kids still play together even if the parents don't get along and if they don't do much outside of school?

When ours were at school, none of their friends parents were friends, I didn’t even know all the parents names. Never caused an issue.

I wasn't particularly friendly with any of the parents of my daughters friends when she was in Y3. However I'd make play dates , usually at pick up, drop off , no problem

Varies a bit i think. My one son isn’t massively into playdates and I don’t know any of his mates parents. It’s fine.

Other son his school is more play datey and the kids who are closest tend to be those who hang outside school and who have close parents.

With this mum though she may just be unfriendly or bad at messaging. In which case her kid won’t be playdateing with anyone and your daughter will still be just as good a friend. If she genuinely just hates you and playdates with others though probably the kid will end up closer to those she does see outside school

In our case, it's less that I don't knowbher but that she declines or rather never replies to any suggestions of playdates. On occasion we used to have this girl over though Dd was never invitee back but now she never even replies. I don't mind but this I'd the only girl Dd really plays with.

The mother just doesn’t want to get involved, which is fine. She isn’t doing anything wrong. I’d stop the messaging, as you aren’t going to get anything back.
