[quote=Anonymous]i just talked this though with my cousin who has a DD in this situaiton. in her case, the parents were really adding the drama by not letting it go. the other girl's dad had texted my cousin's husband re this, and the text we decided to send back was, "they're kids; let them figure it out" or something like that. "let's let the kids figure it out" the kids ended up in the same class and after one period of awkwardness they ended up apologizing to each other--and are not buddies anymore but they are comfortable acquaintances. Kids need to learn to move from friend back to acquaintance if the friendship isn't working for them. It shouldn't always be friend-to-enemy. We can see that in many adult relationships; people that don't recognize that in many situations, there is calmer, drama-free way to part. I'm glad you are helping your DD learn this and maybe the other girl's parent will learn something too.[/quote]
