[quote=Anonymous]I would meet with the mom to discuss, apologize for your daughter being rude, but stress that the girls seem to be growing apart, and while you expect your daughter to be kind and polite and to hang out if the families get together, you cannot force her to hang out with this girl on her own.

Realistically, as kids get older, their free time to hang out is very limited.  My son is a sophomore, and has 6 sports practices a week (for a single sport).  He has a girlfriend that he says is serious (I like her but feel they are too young), and has pulled away from some friends he has less in common with just because he has so little time (and wants to spend most of the free time he does have with this girlfriend - again, I don't agree, but his choice).  I would not direct him to spend free time with someone he didn't want to (outside of family get togethers).  However, if I found out he was being a jerk or mean in declining invites from a child whose mom I was friendly with, I would crack down on the tone of it quickly.[/quote]
