[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is always boundaries. High strung is easy to deal with. Offer to have the kid over to take them out of her hair. [/quote]

+1 on boundaries. We are talking about first grade here. Do not do play dates. Have the kids play limited to school/sports. There is no need for you to be chatty with mom. Say your hellos and be pleasant but do not engage.

I had a similar situation, with a mom of DC’s little friend. Mom seemed very strange and off putting, but I made the mistake of trying to be friendly with her. Plus, I didn’t want to punish a little kid for having a weird mom. We did a few play dates (maybe two or three, nothing crazy) and we’d chat when we’d see each other at school events, etc. Mom went full blown Single White Woman the following year, when DC no longer wanted to be friends with her kid. Mom kept sending me crazy texts about how I had to make our kids friends again. (DC didn’t want to be friends anymore because her kid was so bossy and domineering.) It was bizarre.

Don’t listen to PPs who aren’t in the situation. Trust your gut.[/quote]
