[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tough crowd here.  OP, I totally get what you're saying.  It's the curt "Have a good afternoon" that is weird.  It reads as her shutting the conversation down when you were just trying to be friendly.  I really don't think you approached it incorrectly and she sounds a bit unfriendly to me.  Though, I agree with others that it is REALLY hard to read tone over text.  I just wouldn't try to chat it up or joke with her over text again.  [/quote]

This. She isn't one of your "people". NBD.[/quote]

OP here. This. This is it. It's the shutting down comment. Anytime another parent is being kind or friendly I am earnest and eager to respond back with friendliness. This Mom is not. She is not one of my people. I totally get that now. I saw her this morning. She might be a little socially awkward, in that she takes herself very seriously. I really misjudged her, and made assumptions of her partly because of her appearance. She comes across as a sort of non-traditional mom, with tattoos up her sleeves, and as a tattooed Mom myself, I guess I felt like she might be sort of an open-minded, fun and friendly person. She really is not. So, lesson learned. I move on now.[/quote]

You sound overly invested here, truly. There is no need to dissect this that much. And yeah it seems like you were dragging out what should have been a very brief exchange and she just didn’t have time to continue on and on. [/quote]
