[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my sister went through this with her daughter and the crazy mother of another little girl. The little girl would start something and then when it didn't end the way she wanted she would go home and cry to her mom, Her mom would go crazy sending emails and coming into class to volunteer "to keep an eye on things" and telling teachers and other parents that my niece was a "sociopath" (niece is a nice, normal kid. 9 years old.).

My sister's response to the first few texts and emails was "It sounds like the girls are learning about friendships/ sportsmanship/ taking turns whatever. I think the teachers are great at their job so let's let them handle it." After that, she ignored. It took the other adults about 30 seconds to figure out that the other mom was unhinged. My sister finally met with the teacher to express concern that someone who called her daughter a "sociopath" was allowed to volunteer, and the teacher let her know they were setting boundaries as necessary. She also talked about "confidentiality" and made some meaningful pauses during their talk, so my sister got the impression that everyone was one her side and handling it appropriately, but they couldn't really talk about it.

It is a private school. The woman toned it way down after no one cared that she threatened to withdraw her daughter. Since then she's sent my sister friendly texts wanting to get together. My sister still ignores her.

TL/DR either ignore her or respond to suggest teacher be allowed to handle conflicts as she sees fit. Meet with teacher if parent crazy starts to affect your kid at school.[/quote]

Op wow this situation sounds exactly the same as mine. The unhinged mom is also signing up for all of the volunteering. I feel weird about it because a year ago when our kids were in preschool together she watched a movie where the mom kills the kids bully and said she has fantasies of doing the same to a kid is ever mean to her kid. She is obsessed with who is mean to her kid, like a kid will walk by and she’d whisper “I heard that kid is mean.” Meanwhile it was a normal tk student and she’s just going off the unreliable narration of her son. Anyway, I wound up emailing the teacher a quick note and she responded she was grateful for the information and would move their seats. [/quote]

YIKES I’d try and distance myself from her as much as possible [/quote]
