[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't approach the other mother about it. You use it as a teachable moment for your daughter. She will encounter means girls her whole life. They never go away. They will be at college, in the workplace, at your yoga class, and on and on and on. Women do not treat each other well most of the time. The only thing you can do it to decide how much of this nonsense you are willing to put up with, and to what degree you are willing to make it a big deal in your world. I taught my daughters (now grown) that the best revenge with mean girls is being totally at peace with yourself. Happy. Centered. Able to stand alone when necessary, and be unflappable. It isn't "why are you doing this to me?" it's "why are you acting like that at all? What's wrong with you?"[/quote] Labeling someone "the mean girl" or proclaiming "what's wrong with you" is very mean. It does not matter how you dress things up, the intent is to demean.[/quote]
