I've got an 18 month old child and a few months ago I became friends with another mum from one of the baby classes. Everything was fine for a while but as time has gone on she's become quite needy and clingy and making me feel uncomfortable.
I see her once a week at a playgroup which is more than I see most of my other friends plus I work part time (she doesn't work or have other friends) but in addition she asks to see me so frequently including at weekends which to me is family time. She says things often like 'I'm going to the park, do you want to come' or similar and when I say no because I'm busy and ask her how it was she always says she didn't go (to me it's implying because I didn't go with her). She comes across a little obsessed with my child, often stroking his hair, picking him up when I turn away to get something out of the bag and offering to babysit when I don't actually need anyone to babysit. There's more to it all, but without going into loads of detail and making this post even longer, essentially she's very clingy and needy, and making me feel quite uncomfortable. I don't know if it's just because she's lonely or it's cultural differences, but it's just getting a bit weird.
What do I do? We go to the same group so I'm not going to not see her at all but I have been trying to distance myself from her a bit. Or am I just being unfair?
