[quote=Anonymous]So so far, not one parent has said "yes, I have a (mean) Queen Bee".  I find that amazing.

I was friends for many years with some fine, upstanding people, upper middle class, educated, Vienna residents, who had a QB daughter.  This girl was the popular one, the one that everyone wanted to be with and be liked by - and she would play the exclusionary, "you are not our friend", who is in and who is out game.

I would sometimes begin gatherings of multiple couples and kids with a stern talking to for the group of kids - "we are not going to be mean/exclude/play "you are not my friend" - we are all friends here" - WHERE THE PARENTS COULD HEAR ME.  Yet I never, ever saw or heard the parents take any action to reign in the QBs behavior.  And they could be quite stern about discipline in other circumstances.  I never understood it.

I finally stopped being friends with  them when they befriended a couple with a totally undisciplined bully of a child - who would physically attack the other kids.  The worst part was this bully had a little sister whom he constantly hit, punched, etc - and the parents would do nothing.  I don't understand the failure to acknowledge and discipline at all.
