This is not earth shattering stuff, but am venting. My dd1 has a friend from nursery she's very fond of, who lives just yards from us, who she's always begging to play with
Owing to me working four days a week I'm a bit rubbish at organising playdates but finally sorted out one when we went for lunch at friend's house. It all seemed to go fine, wasn't the most thrilling afternoon of my life but made polite small talk with the mother whom I already know from various nursery events and have always got on - I thought - fine with
Anyway, left, said thanks let's do it again soon. A couple of weeks ago I left a message saying would you be up for a day trip during the holidays. No reply. I know they're not only holiday as have seen them in the distance round and about. But fine. But today, my nanny - desperate to organise something in the rain - called up. She said "Is that Mrs X?" The woman said "yes", When she said "It's dd's nanny" the woman said "Sorry, you've got the wrong number" [hmmm]
Obviously, her dd does not want to play with my dd, or else she doesn't like us as a family. Fine, it happens. But I think it's silly and rude to do that when it so obviously wasn't a wrong number. Why didn't she just say sorry, we're busy. Our dds will be at nursery together for another two years so we are going to carry on bumping in to each other for a long time and I don't know what to say next time we come face to face - "oh, did you get my message, our nanny tried to call you". Feel like doing that to embarrass her, but should probably just leave it.
Anyway, v petty in the scheme of things and more amused than but just wanted to let off steam
