DD1 is 8, in year 3 at school. A friend has a DD in the same year. For the past few months, there have been some low level incidences at school of this woman's DD being unpleasant to my DD. Nothing major, but just a bit of nastiness. Friend's DD is a bit of a drama queen and falls out with other children regularly.
Last Friday, during the day at school a note was put into her DD's schoolbag with a bit of unpleasant stuff on it; just things like "I don't like you, you're horrible".
The first that I knew of it was Friday evening when my friend phoned me and was very angry and rude to me on the phone. Her DD had said to her that my DD had put the note in her bag. She shouted that I needed to sort my child out, and that she was going to take it as far as she could possibly take it! I said I'd speak to DD and get back to her but she said "Don't bother" and slammed the phone down on me. DD vehemently denied doing anything.
She also sent a couple of horrible texts to me about it at the weekend, basically calling my DD all the names under the sun and saying that she wouldn't let it rest.
Fast forward to Monday, she went into the school about it and apparently another child confessed to the teacher and said that it was them who left the note. DD had nothing to do with it. I know this because I spoke to the teacher myself after school on Monday as I wanted to get to the bottom of things and didn't want it being a witch hunt after my DD.
Friend then phoned me on Monday evening, with a very brief but seemingly unsincere apology. Just a laugh and a "Sorry about that, DD said it was your DD". She said it as if it was just something minor like she'd just trod on my toe in a shop or something like that. I said that I was upset about how she dealt with things and she then said that I was being silly, we all make mistakes and that she'd apologised and that that was the end of it! I said that yes, we all make mistakes but that she spoke to me really nastily and had made me cry. She again just laughed it off.
I really feel like I don't want to have much to do with her anymore. She has started carrying on as though nothing has happened; sending me texts and wanting to chat at the gates but I just can't carry on with the friendship. She's not a close friend BTW and I've only known her for a few years (we met via the kids at school pick up/parties).
