My younger son has a best friend. But I swear, the best friend's mother snubbed me! This morning I thought it was me picking up the wrong vibes, but this afternoon at pick-up she did it again! (no eye contact, no hello, one question, a effusive "HIII!!!" to another mother. At pick up, Me: "Hi!" Her: "OK, Bye!")
If it were just some other mother, I'd shrug it off.
But I know I'll probably have to deal with her again 'cause our kids are close.
Background: She was talking like best buddies a couple months ago. Then she starts bad mouthing the people who live around here. I suspect she's less than happy with her marriage, so that might also be a factor. Then at my son's party, she was really silent.
So either she's so immersed in her own problems or she's lumped me with all the other people she doesn't like..?
What would you do? What should I do?

Just ask her when you see her, "Is something wrong?" I had a strange "friend" like this who got furious because my daughter rolled her eyes at her daughter. We cooled that friendship and the kid has had lots of problems since then. If she doesn't like all the people in your town, she doesn't like her self or probably you for that matter. It is her problem, but try to make nice for the kids sake. The things we parents have to do for our kids.

I believe the best thing is to smile while asking her if you have done something to offend her. The reason I say this, is because there are so many missunderstandings in life (and you could say that to her) and I would hate this to be one.
Maybe she is upset but her way of dealing with it sure isn't a good one. You seem far more mature. Good luck!

although it will be hard ask her if you have done something to offend her. Maybe your son did something to hers that she didn't like. Or it just could be she is a weird person and you are her lastest victim. It is hard as your kids are friends and it will limit the boys time together, maybe start encouraging your son to make more friends (not to dump his best friend just include more kids) incase she makes it affect her sons friendship with yours

Next time you see her, pull her aside and ask her what's the deal! I have a friend who is like that. Any time she isn't getting exactly what she wants from the friendship, she acts like I'm not even there. Very childish!

There's really not much you can do, except accept the fact that she may not like you. You can't make her like you, just don't let it effect your sons friendship.

you should pull her aside and ask her if everything is okay. say you noticed she has been acting different and you want to make sure everything is okay with her. and offer your self as a person to talk to, or say you would love to set up a play date or something

You cant do much if she has a personal family problem. The best thing to do is avoid her.
see ya.

I would suggest talking to her to find out what's going on before you jump to conclusions.

Ask her why she is no longer talking to you. Maybe she is having a bad day.
