My DD is in her final term at the village primary school. Throughout her time there she has established a good group of friends which has spilt over into us forming good friendships with the other parents. The usual stuff, going round houses after school, sleepovers, days out, childcare favours and lifts for each others children, dads going down the pub, mums going down the pub, barbeques etc.
Of late Ive noticed a coolness from one of the other mums, the one I would have said I was closest to, which seems to be affecting our families relationships with the rest of the group. Easy to say I know, but I cannot put my finger on why, how or when this happened, its just that now when we see each other she seems to go out of her way to avoid talking to me. Things like I could walk up to her in the playground and she would turn her back to me or dash off to do something else.
Things have got to me a little this week. Last Sunday we were at an event in the morning with several of the friends and had a great time catching up on all the gossip (although close mum was being off). After the event, the others went round to one of their houses for a barbeque, we went home. Tonight there is another barbeque, again we are not invited.
Now I do understand that friendships change and do drift but I am really saddened that this seems to be happening before the natural break of the end of school. Is there anything I can do to get things back as they were so my DD final few weeks at that school is remembered for the right reasons or should I just let it go?
