Was my friend out of order or am I being petty?

[ChocolateDream]

On the way home from school this morning my DS was walking with my friends DD as always. They have walked to and from school together for the past two years or so. They are 9.

Anyway, all of a sudden her DD saw one of her other friends and shouted "Hi sarah!", the other girl waved and friends DD turned around again and carried in walking with DS.

Anyway friend went mad at her and said she was ignorent and she was sick of her bieng so rude. I didn't have a clue what she was on about and neither did her DD so she added "get back over there and walk with Sarah now, don't be so bloody ignorent!".

so she did and my DS was then left on his own .

I felt this was totally out of order on friends part and surely its more ignorent to go off with someone else when you were already walking with someone?

Any thoughts welcome.

Your friend was being very strange.

sounds like the other girl had a grump about something. she's jealous of your daughter being friendly with someone else.

SEA - I think it was the mum being grumpy, not the other child.

no her daughter was walking with my son originally. Then her daughter saw another friend, said hello (to which the other girl smiled and waved nicely) and her daughter and my son continued to walk to school but then my friend had a huge go and her daughter (who was walking with my son) about being "ignorent" to the other friend for not leaving my son and walking with the other girl instead.

Personally i feel she was being hugely ignorent to my son (my friend, not her daughter who had little choice in the matter).

She sounds a bit weird. Surely saying hello and waving was enough? If Sarah had wanted to walk with the dd then surely she would have joined her and your ds?

oh sorry missed the crucial my in the title. thought they were walking alone (not with adults).
