[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I was trying to advocate for my kid. She spent the afternoon alone crying while three friends were off having fun; how is that in any way fair? I am on the fence with how to respond to this girl's mother. She just responded with a "heart" emoji on my text and said, "I'm sorry she felt left out. Three kids is my max for playdate supervision. Hope we can see you soon." Not even an invite or any kind of ownership of the behavior.
Maybe I am being insecure or irrational but seeing your kid in tears, left out, visibly, hurts.[/quote]

Honestly, I'm impressed with the response you got. That is a woman who understands how to respond to an awkward social situation with grace and kindness. Learn from her.[/quote]

+1.  OP doesn’t even realize it either.  She wasn’t even happy with that response.  She was expecting the mom to invite her child to something or own up to her behavior as she stated above.

She is in for a world of social isolation for her child if that is how she sees things.  Poor kid.  I feel sorry for her since OP has no clue about social norms and thinks the world and everyone and everything should revolve around her child and her.[/quote]
