Weird experience with school gate mum

Anyone here ever had a truly bizarre experience where they've been suddenly blanked by a fellow school mum? for my sons birthday we invited his new best friend and his mum to our house for their first ever playdate. Made a real effort, set up some games, laid out some food etcetera

They stayed for a good 2 hours, boys played really well together me and my partner had a nice chat and glass of wine with playdates mum. Left on a good note, so far, so good. Except ever since the mum is not only blanking me at the school gate but looking quite scared whenever I try to talk to her. The other day I was in bed poorly so my DH did pick up. Yep you guessed it upon seeing DH playdate mum chatted away to him quite happily.

Any thoughts on what the heck is going on. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm not asking to be the womsns new BFF but a simple normal hello would be nice xx

I don't think so. We've recently (well 1 year ago) moved from a city to a village in the south. Tbh I do find people more reserved on certain levels. The only slightly personal subject was a tricky family matter she was going through.

Maybe she felt she overshared and now does not want to mix with you. This happened to me with a neighbour who essentially told me how she didn't like her many of her family and then clammed up and was distant!
