So I will try to keep it short. I haven’t got many friends so wanted to make a real effort with the other Mum’s when my child started school last September. I got talking to one of the other Mum’s and most days we would have a chat while the children played on the local park. She sadly lost her Mum a few months ago (after a long illness) and asked me if I could pick her child up from school whilst she attended the funeral, to which of course I agreed.
The day after the ‘play date’ I text her as her child had left something behind at my house. She then said thanks for looking after Sam (name change!) Ok no problems.
I appreciate restrictions have only just been lifted but when they were, she was very quick to invite another child round after school for a play date. Now this child and her child have become good friends, which of course is fine, but that has pushed my child out slightly. Am I wrong to think perhaps she should of invited my child to play at some point as a kind of thanks, let me repay the favour kind of thing?
Please be gentle, this is all new to me.
