Jealousy!!

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??

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

Oh don’t worry about @CrystalShoe . Made an absolute tit of herself on another thread and shuffled off without a trace!

For heaven’s sake, OP, for a start, disengage your daughter’s friendships from yours. Tell your friend’s daughter that if her mum wants to talk to you, she needs to do so directly, not via her. Encourage your child to have other friendships.

Secondly, it’s not clear why you term this woman your ‘best friend’. Nothing you say about her suggests mutual liking or respect, just juvenile sniping and storming off.
