[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, you're overreacting on every front.
1. Parents are on the playground all the time at our school. There's nothing more normal. You're "furious"? Perhaps you need to spend more time at the school yourself. 
[b]2. Her daughter came home upset that your daughter was mean to her.[/b]
3. She spoke politely to your daughter [i]about an issue with your daughter[/i]
4. Your daughter is old enough not to have HER mother stand between her and the rest of the world, at least on this level.

I was going to say "I can't believe that...", but yes, I can believe that your[b] first reaction isn't to have a conversation with your daughter about her mean girl tendencies[/b], but to flip out on DCUM about the presence of a parent on the playground. Please get your priorities straight. [/quote]

I just said that my daughter is NOT a Mean Girl, you seem very presumptuous.  I asked DD if she was ever mean to this other girl and she said no, that they just don't hang out because they have different interests.  If my DD was mean, I would DEFINITELY want to know, so I can fix the behavior however I do not want some adult to approach my daughter.[/quote]

You seem very naive. Your daughter lied to you. The other girl was upset enough to get her mother involved, and it's less likely that she would manufacture that upset than it is that your daughter would lie to you when caught out in bad behavior.

You say you would want to know if your daughter were mean. Well, now you know. She is mean enough to get another parent involved, AND she lies, or, perhaps even worse, doesn't think it's a big deal. Take it from there. [/quote]

+ 1 Don't you think the other mom had better things to do than to talk to your daughter? I've not done this but have been sorely tempted a few times... [/quote]
