[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey there, OP. We had a mean mom in our neighborhood. Everyone was a little afraid of her. When she got into a spat with another mom, the rest of us didn't rally around mean mom and start ignoring the other mom. If anything, it reinforced how awful she was. We all tried our best to stay out of the whole thing.

My point is, if the mean mom in your social circle is trash talking you and the other moms are going along with it, they're immature and probably have low self-esteem. You probably shouldn't hang around them anyway. Mean mom sounds like she realized you had her figured out (you called her bitchiness out) and she decided to start trash talking you to all the other moms before you beat her to it. Because mean moms assume everyone else is evil like them, think like them, and would do the same crazy shit they do.

As previous posters said, cultivate other friendships. Try reaching out to another kid's mom from their school class and see if you can arrange an outdoor play date.[/quote]

^^^ Also, wanted to say that the best thing you can do is to act like it doesn't bother you at all. Be as nice as you can to them all, even mean mom. Smile, say hi (even if they ignore you). If any of those ladies are actually decent people who are just afraid of her, or if it turns out she's saying things about you that are untrue and making people avoid you, eventually they will figure it out. Not that you should hang around and wait for that to happen. But, meanwhile, take the high road.[/quote]

OP 
Thank you. This is good advice 
I do get the impression that a lot of these moms are sheep, I’m as friendly as I can be 
I’m also somewhat relieved not to be caught up in it all anymore [/quote]
