We've been friends for around 3 years, our kids go to the same school but I'm getting to the point where I go out of my way to avoid her. She takes the piss out of things I do (like when I expressed an interest in joining karate) but then she carries on with sly digs about it. For instance if she see's the karate instructor in the school playground (he's a dad) she will say something like "oh god, that karate bloke is coming across" but half the time he hears her and it must seem like we're both taking the piss. This morning my son told her that he'd passed his grading and an adult had got a lower mark than him and she started laughing and said "an adult was doing it too?" which I'm sure was a dig at me.
Apart from that though she's constantly hot and cold with me. She'll only talk to me if there is nobody else in the playground who she can talk to. Same with holidays etc, she'll only get in touch with me if nobody else is taking her out (she doesn't drive).
When we are together she never wants to talk about anything I have to say, its always about her husbands family, she moans constantly (and I mean constantly...from the minute we get out of school until we reach her street) about her mil and sil yet the next day she will be all over them...ready to tell me another tale of what they've done to annoy her.
She never seems to care about anyone but herself either. When my DS was being bullied by a kid in their class she turned around and said she thought the other kid was quite sweet (that day he'd been nice to her DS).
When I had a car she would always wait for me without fail so I'd give her a lift home/to shop/to school but then I got rid of it and she started taking lifts of her sil (who she cant stand) and on friday we're due to attend a carol concert with the kids and I'm stressing about how I'm going to get there...anyway she just said really smug this morning "I'm getting a lift so I'm alright!" after all the times I've helped her out.
Thing is I'm finding it hard to avoid her (with the school issue) but do you think I'm being OTT anyway? I'm not the most sociable person at the best of times.
