So...dd (6 y o) only really has one friend at school, a boy with SN who is a year older than she is. She and he really love each other to bits and play together all the time at school (which may be part of the reason she doesn't really play with the others).
His mum is nice and we have done things in the past together. Her partner is very odd though and she seems dissatisfied with her life, although I don't think she'd say that out loud.
Today we were supposed to go out with the dc for the day. THe boy's mum was really happy when we fixed it and she had loads of ideas about where we could go. I phoned twice last week to confirm time etc but no answer so I left messages. Dd was really looking forward to seeing her beloved friend. So this morning I phoned again. Someone answered but didn't say anything so I said "Hello?" twice, and I could hear general housey type sounds in the background. Then her aprtner's voice called out "It's your friend Rosey" and I heard the mum groan loudly and then the phone went dead .
So I have had to lie to dd and tell her that her friend is ill. She was really upset but I have managed to rustle up another friend (not from her school) whom we are meeting this afternoon. I am really grateful to my friend for being there at the last minute but also really with the boy's mum at messingm e around and making dd so upset.
This isn't normal behaviour, is it?
