[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that the friend has started back at school and has a new social scene bursting with new friends. It totally changes at that age bc they go from a small pond to a big pond and honestly a friend they don’t see at school or even in the neighborhood is completely out of sight out of mind.

In addition, I’m seeing lots of friendships from these pandemic bubbles falling apart far more than normal. I think kids were really restricted to hanging out with one or two kids in an unnatural way compared to kids typical socializing patterns. Force a kid to limit interactions to a few kids and those friendships became forced and less attractive.

It’s unfortunate that the parents couldn’t be honest at least a little - especially if you are friends with them. I’ve had this happen and if it were me and we were good friends, I’d tell you. However, I’ve had parent friends ignore me in this way and it was obvious why, and it bothered me too, but I think a lot of adults hate awkward conversations.

I would just really encourage new friends at school - that your daughter is even that concerned at this point says to me that maybe she is struggling at school?[/quote]
