[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this other mom hasn't done anything specific that you can point to as being a problem, but you just get a vibe from her that she seems high strung? And as a result you are worried about interacting with her and need advice on how to handle it because your kids are in the same 1st grade class and attend one sport together?

How can I break this gently? Um -- you are the one who is "high strung" and a little bit crazy.

This is a non-problem. Sounds like you two are not friend material (totally fine, you don't have to be friends with your kid's friend's parents). You handle this by learning her name, saying hello and making polite small talk when you see her, supporting your kids' friendship but not inviting this woman out for coffee or to your family's Thanksgiving since you guys don't "vibe" or whatever. The end.

Next year your kid will have a different friend whose mom you think is "crazy". What is actually happening here is that these are just people who exist and you are reacting perhaps a little too strongly to being in their general vicinity. I think you probably have some social anxiety issues.[/quote]

She began the season by texting the team chat a bunch of times for what were honestly non issues. I do have anxiety myself and could see internally thinking of some of the things she raised but would never have msged every single parent on the chat. There are a couple examples like that and she seems to have singled me and another kid’s mom out. Not negatively but maybe our kids are the ones her kid said are friends? I don’t know why.

That’s why I said high strung and kind of crazy, but I don’t think there’s anything really egregious I can point to yet. [/quote]
