Our neighbor's nanny hates me

Or is extremely anti social.

So, our neighbors across the street have one daughter who is the same age as DS2. Ds2 and their daughter enjoy playing together outside in the evenings and on weekends when her parents are home.

However, during the week, the nanny won't even acknowledge me or my kids if she sees us outside. The little girl will point out Ds2 and try to stay hi and she will steer her away from us. It's extremely awkward and insulting. DS2 wants to play with the little girl, but it is obvious that we aren't wanted around.

We just ran into them on the walking path near our house and the nanny completely ignored us.

I've seen the nanny talking and laughing with the girl's parents so I know she isn't completely anti social.

I want to mention something to the little girl's mom, but that seems weird. I don't know. It kinda hurts my feelings which I know is ridiculous. What would you ladies do?

    That's tough! I assume you've introduced yourself and everything?

    Yes. Maybe I should try again?

    Hmm, that's weird. She could just be shy, though? If it were me, I'd probably be really bold and just go up to her and start talking to her. If she still wants to ignore you then, it's going to be really obvious that she's being rude.

    Maybe try again. I will say that I've noticed around here nannies generally tend to hangout separate from SAH or WAH moms at the playground/park. So maybe she doesn't really want to hang with you but it's not personal? I don't know.

    Well, I get that. I don't really want to hang out with her either, but I would never obviously ignore someone or steer my kiddo away. Manners, yo! ;)

    I'd casually bring it up to the mom if you have already introduced yourself to the nanny and she's still doing this. The nanny probably doesn't know that the kids are allowed to play together, but it sounds like the daughter wants to and so does your DS so I'm not sure why she's being like that.  Maybe the mom can shed some light on the situation ;)

    ETA: Because I can't type today.
