I made an effort to make friends as a father with a mother at my kids school. I text her a few times. I later felt I made a mistake as it may have been taken the wrong way. The mother might have thought the same as she was different after that. I stopped texting and just left it. Our interactions were uncomfortable after that. Fast forward six months she was still being weird and must have told her click of parents because they were being weird too.
I text her once more assuring her my intentions were platonic and she said everything is fine and she hadn't taken things the wrong way. The click of parents are still ignoring me and my girlfriend and yesterday I felt that the kids of the parents had told their kids not to play with mine. There was something distant about the children who are normally very warm towards my child.
I don't want my kid being excluded. My girlfriend is very antisocial so she is happy not interacting but it makes me very unhappy and stressed. It affects my well being and sleep.
I haven't mentioned the misunderstanding to my girlfriend because she might see it as the worst. But I also don't like keeping secrets. Everything might get blown out of proportion. I also don't want my kid being isolated.
I asked my kid while she wasn't playing with the others and she said it's a secret. I guess it just put it down to other parents being horrible people and try to ignore it
