Keep your chin up.

I am dealing with a neighbor situation also and have been stewing all morning wondering what I should do.  I agree with all here.  If it were me (and what I will probably do this this evening myself), I would call HER and calmly, firmly state that this has gone on long enough.  Your boy will play with who he likes, he will have fun the way he likes, from now on will not have to worry about catering to her child, and you would like the phone calls to stop.  If she is so concerned/critical of all the children then her boy should not be playing with them.  No one likes a nag and one with a superior attitude to boot.  I would also point out that she could use some parenting tips.  She is raising a little nark.  Do not be so hard on yourself.  You are doing the best that you can do and sounds like you are doing a fabulous job.  Don't let this woman intimidate you or dictate to you.   She honestly sounds like she has issues.

I kid you not.  It's recurrent, so every 3 or 4 months I can be guaranteed a HUMUNGUS ingrown hair w/pus pocket containing at least a teaspoon of goo!
