Jealousy!!

[tiredmumma90]

Help me out please!!

My daughter met a girl who she became best friends with (their both 8) I then became best friends with the girls mum.
Every time my daughter does something else out side of school with her other best friend, my friend then gets really jealous and gets her daughter to ask me to do things with her which is awkward especially when I have other things arranged.
I could walk out of school talking to other mums and she'll storm off and then wait ahead with a face like a smacked arse. Shes in her 30's mind.!

Her partner isn't very supportive and then because I dont help out (I have 3 children in total) she goes off on one saying shes got no one that helps her out and she may as well be on her own etc. I have my own children to look after.
She's even started ignoring my messages if me and my family go out and do activities and then I'll upload pictures on social media, I won't hear off of her cos shes in her childish faze of ignoring me 🙄

I just dont understand why she gets so jealous all the time. Its starting to really piss me off, I've kept my mouth shut for long enough now and its only so much I'll take before I snap!

What do you guys think i should do??

I would be fascinated by you starting a thread about you @CrystalShoe and what your circumstances are.

Oh and more about your passionate commitment to improving mumsnetters’ spellings.

Surely you have enough fodder now to start this thread of yours that you’ve promised?

I personally was curious about whether you were as impassioned about spellings as you are on this thread with your partner, about anything, spellings or otherwise

Yes, I'm sure it was very complimentary! 😂

Having my marital status and child status inspected because I correct misspellings that have become endemic online....unbelievable.

I had no idea that some people's egos were as fragile as gossamer.

Yes, I do get impassioned about things. I have ADHD so I do get laser-focused.

Why did you say "Now that would be interesting" about whether I have a partner or not? Why the italics?

Actually, I've changed my mind. I don't think attempting to right the evils of the internet spreading the wrong spellings is worth all this.

People will just have to go around with their onscreen spelling knickers tucked into the backs of their onscreen spelling skirts. They seem fine with that, so all well and good.

I am. I have.

If you derail a thread as you did, expect questions 🤷‍♀️

You presumably understand that italics are often used for emphasis purposes?

Yes, I wondered why my relationship status was so interesting as to warrant italics. We are talking about spelling, after all.

I saw no questions.

Seriously?

Children? Partner?

Were they not questions?

I'll try to undo the harm I've done.

To loose something. I'm always loosing my purse.
My trousers are loose.
It's just a faze.
I'm not phased by hosting Christmas.

Tell her to grow up! If she needs help with her family then speak to her husband youre not there to help her bring her kids up!! You're allowed to do as you please without her permission! Tell her to get a grip or your friendship is done!

I meant for most of the replies, until those.

My shift is starting. Must go.

Be careful she doesn’t ‘Wendy’ you!

ie join your friendship group then freeze you out. A mumsnet phrase

I do think she might be lonely, though. And can you ever have too many friends? Sounds as if she really likes OP, which is pretty sweet.

If this friendship group did “freeze” out the OP, then what a peculiar, unpleasant and easily led group of women these friends are

Yeah I guess but a woman in her 30s acting like a stroppy teenager because her friend is enjoying family time or talking to another mum is a bit ott, im sure she does like the op and I'm sure the op likes her but I think maybe some boundaries need to be set, maybe set time and days where they can meet up for coffees or do something just the 2 of them, otherwise op is gonna start resenting her friend

Tbf I don’t know many women in their 30s who would say I've included her in to MY group of friends which I didn't have to and she still acts like this towards me.

Me neither.

For which I am grateful!

So why has my post been taken over by this weirdo correcting people's spelling?? 🤔🫣

My first thought. I’d be extremely careful about how you proceed. Have you asked her why she has a face like a smacked arse if you spend time with others? I wouldn’t be able to resist.

My second thought: can we talk about Phazer? Flyspray product for horses. Or phaser? From Star Trek. Set to stun!

There are friends of yours OP @tiredmumma90

They are not YOUR group of friends
