should I clear the air between me and this woman

[crazedupmom]

Hi
My ds recently had a fight with her dd see my other two previous posts.
I had a chat with her and her dh about some of the problems with my ds and her dd and it was all quite friendly and non hostile.
Now at the school yesterday I was convinced that she was ignoring me I waved at her smiled at her with no response.
Now today I was not sure what the score was if I saw her at the school again. she was walking towards me and my glance met hers and for a moment she appeared to be about to not speak again so I just focused my gaze ahead instead of at her.
Has she was passing she said alright and I said alright back.
I am not sure if she heard me say alright back but she then said why are you not talking to me and I came back with what was probably a stupid response and said I am talking to you.
She then said you didn,t look at me then and she walked off lookling annoyed.
We then carried on our ways.
Do other mumsnetters think that I should go and speak to her and clear the air.
She lives next door to me should I knock her door or wait and see her at the school.
Sorry stupid question really but I am hopeless with this sort of thing as I have never had problems like this before.

erm...yes you should. You were the one convinced she was not talking to you yesterday, she probably didn't see you.

Go round and say you were in a total dreamworld when you saw her this morning and ask her round for coffee.

I hate it when things like this happen - makes me feel all nervous and horrible.

I was just going to type what Laurie said about the coffee.

Good luck.

If she is your neighbour then pop round with some biscuits/ a cake/ a smile and say 'look, I really didn't mean to offend you but I am just feeling really awkward about the situation with our kids. Can we have a chat?'. (This said haven't read your previous posts). Alternatively if she is only someone you see at school, it does no harm to leave it alone. If it was me and I liked her or she was my neighbour, I would sort it out. You don't want some kind of vendetta between you are your kids.

should be 'or your kids' oops!

oh dear I am sort of feeling bad maybe she was in a world of her own yesterday.
I don,t want to look as though I am grovelling now should I mention that I thought she had ignored me yesterday or could that make things worse.

Don't mention yesterday - just do as others have said and everything should be fine. No point bringing other stuff up.

I wouldn't mention yesterday cos then you would look paranoid and then petty for justifying ignoring her today.

Just say dreamworld.

Good point Laurie.
Okay thanks I will mention that recent events have made me feel awkward, and they have to be honest maybe she feels the same.

Of course she feel awkward too, npt read your previous threads but it sounds like you are all trying to sort the issue out.

As she lives close I would give her a knock as others have suggested.

yeah, just pop round and say no hard feelings eh
