[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is now over 4 years old, but honestly it’s relevant because stuff like this happens all the time. In the past 4 years I’ve seen a friend group like this blow up in my neighborhood, and the forming of a new group led by two new queen bees. I’d love OP to come back and give an update. As kids get older, these parent/mom cliques matter less and less because kids make their own friends. Also, during 2020 and 2021, worlds shrank and many of us spent a lot more time around neighbors and neighborhood friends. Looking back, I wish I personally hadn’t done that. [/quote]

Yeah I also have seen the same thing. I never was into wanting to be in a mommy clique, but it is interesting to see what happens. I was in a mommy and me group with a mean queen B and her bff who went along with anything and some followers with no spine. I run into the various women now and then and none of them hang out. The queens bff threw her under the bus with gossip within in 5 minutes of me asking how her friend is. Apparently the friendship exploded. One of my kids was in school with the mommy expert's daughter who as a toddler was apparently advanced in every way and a genius. Well she is now a rebellious and wild teen with an attitude who only wants to hang out with her dad and step mom if she hangs with adults at all.

Since then I encountered many more nice moms who have enough balance in their lives and faced enough challenges they don't have time for middle school dynamics. They seem to maintain their friendships with eachother and when I run into them we have normal conversation-no gossip. [/quote]
