[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was friends with two girls all through ES.  Out of the blue, one mom started excluding my DD even though all three girls still get along splendidly in MS. She’s also started refusing all hangouts initiated by us.  DD hasn’t said anything but feels the sting and has asked why that mom is doing that.

So yes, mean moms! She also be crazy lol (say this based on what I know of her but suppressed over the years so girls could be friends)[/quote]

Sometimes one kid thinks they are still great friends while another needs some space.  This is common in middle school.  Friend groups change, even when they were close for years.  It sounds more like that than the mom excluding anyone.  My daughter started middle school this year and moms aren’t organizing any of their social outings.  We only drive after they coordinate.

This is also what I have seen- and my daughter has been on both sides of it, at various times. The girls are the ones making the plans- not the moms. Middle school is a common time for friendships & friend groups to change. If anything, the moms were probably padding things along in elementary (often forcing the girls to invite girls they were no longer friends with- to avoid hurt feelings)….and have now stopped doing so in middle school, as the girls gain independence.

OP here-yes, I’ve seen this and I have also seen moms being mean and purposely cruel to my DD.
