[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you that kids need to be allowed to outgrow their friends and move on. How to do that is really tricky - for adults as well as kids - but not wanting to hang out with someone she doesn't feel connected to certainly doesn't make her mean or a bully in an of itself. I think there is almost no way around this being a really dicey situation for the moms though, and certainly saw a number of mom friendships blow up when kids were going through similar things.  So I think you just be the bigger person, be kind, give your kid some grace while also expecting her to be kind to people she is moving away from.  [/quote]

I think this is spot on and I think you have to reiterate what pp said above to the other mom. You can highlight to the other mom that you don't think that your DD handled her response in the most appropriate way and that you've reiterated the importance of being kind but that you can't get involved in her friendships at this age.
