So my child recently started Reception and I've made an effort to speak to most of the parents as we line up at drop off and pick up. I'm pretty friendly and our kids spend all day together so we might as well get to know each other a bit. I got to know 75% of the parents. I said hello to a mum who does not speak English very well. I introduced her to a few other mums in the line and we all chat. Ive organised quite a few one on one play dates for my child which included a park play date with said mum and her son. We communicated through google translate. She also asked me to find her a job.
Now she heads towards me wherever I am in the line at pick up. I heard people grumbling when she cut the very long line just to stand next to me today. If I'm talking to someone else, she stops the conversation by talking only to me and has her back facing the other person. If my child and I are a bit later than usual she sends me texts, which come across as rude but I suppose it's because English is her second language. I feel like she's alienating me from everyone else and its draining. I'm not not having fun chatting to various people anymore. I find I actually dread seeing her. Don't get me wrong, she quite nice but I feel like I need to get away from her.
