[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d need to know the exact comment. Saying that someone gained weight when it’s “at least half true” is still mean unless it’s to try to help them in some way (like Larla gained a lot of weight and I’m concerned, should we try walking in the park to be more active as a group). But commenting that their kid is poorly behaved or something like that when it’s true and that clearly affects the rest of the group is different. That’s not mean, it’s a valid thing to discuss.[/quote]

+1. I have discussed issues involving kids in a friend group when the behavior of a certain child is impacting my kids. In my wider neighborhood friend group there is a child my sons age who was severely isolated during COVID and has exhibited extremely disturbing behavior since beginning to socialize again. The child’s parents ignore it, but others have discussed because we don’t want our kids around that child very often. We need more context here.

And I’m sorry, but since the time I’ve been in elementary school I have never been apart of a friend group where there wasn’t some form of gossip. [/quote]

I have discussed other friends with mutual friends when either there’s been an issue with how our kids interact, someone’s spouse has been weird/jerky, or we’re legitimately concerned for a friend who is struggling and trying to come up with a way to help her. [/quote]
