I'm not annoyed with ds, just a bit disappointed it didn't go better. Just moved to a new village where I know noone. Went to mother and toddler group and was really pleased to meet a mum I liked, and who, even better, appeared to like me as she invited us over for lunch today. It was going well, until ds woke up! He was very grumpy at waking up in a strange place, understandably, and cried for a while, and wouldn't eat any of her nice food. He cheered up a bit later, and although he didn't exactly play with her little boy, I hadn't expected him to as he's only 2 and they don't really play together at this age, do they. He's a bit oversensitive and sometimes got upset if the other little boy got too close. At one point he seemed to want to leave, but then when we did go to leave he threw a major tantrum, clinging to the door and screaming. I'm worried we won't be asked back. Maybe I should give the other mum more credit, she has kids, she knows what it's like. I will of course invite her over to my, much smaller and shabbier(!), house. And if she doesn't invite me back to hers I'll never know if it's because of ds or because she doesn't like me that much. I sound paranoid I know, but I'm keen to make friends, and I like her. God, it's worse than school...
