Sorry but just so upset about the actions of one parent and I don't know whether to just cut all ties with her, well as much as possible, or if I am being over sensitive.
Looked after this girl for almost 3 years, from her being 11 months and my son being 9 months. The kids have always been really close whilst I was minding her, and they have now just finished a year at the school nursery together and start in reception class together in September.
The mum and I have always got on really well, and she wanted me to have her second child when she went back to work (maternity leave being the only reason he first child left my setting). She then got made redundant so this hasn't happened, but we often go out on days out with the kids together and round each others houses for the kids to play.
But recently I feel like all she does is make little digs constantly about my son. About him being spoilt to start with, getting his own way all the time (no more than any other child and certainly no more than her daughter), and today she ripped the shit out of a costume I made him for his last day of nursery party.
This probably sounds really petty but I just can't stand the fact that I feel I have to constantly defend him to her. He went round to their house after nursery a few weeks ago and when it got to dinner time DS changed his mind and wanted to come home. She was so nasty about it cause she had already cooked his dinner, and I understand she may be a bit peeved, but he is 4 years old. If he wants to change his mind and go home to his mum then so what!!! I know for a fact that if it was her DS in that situation she wouldn't have hesitated in going straight right for her.
Sorry I have rambled on, am I being over sensitive or is she just being a bitch???
