[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry this happened to your daughter—situations like that can feel so awkward, especially when the other mom gave one of those oddly deflective responses that sometimes pop up on DCUM, like complimenting your daughter’s shirt and suddenly shifting to soccer season talk. I would not reach out to that mom. It likely would not change anything and could end up feeling even more uncomfortable for your daughter. Unfortunately, this kind of dynamic seems to happen often with moms of girls. Some like to form tight-knit cliques that are not always welcoming to others. Sometimes our friends bond with other people in ways we did not expect, and those connections take on a life of their own. It can be disappointing and disheartening, especially when there is no effort to be inclusive. Hopefully, your daughter knows that she is valued and loved, and this moment will not define her friendships in the long run.[/quote]
