[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's incredibly hurt, so I did send the mom a text (I do know her, it's not like I am a random parent she has never met before) saying that my DD was hurt that she couldn't have been included in the playdate, it was hard to watch the girls walk off without her, and next time, could she also join in. I was very kind about it but trying to advocate for my daughter.[/quote]

This would make me want nothing to do with you. You are socially clueless. Even in your OP you said "Larla's mom was standing right there and could have also offered to have my DD join the playdate." You have no way of knowing that. Maybe her DD asked for a special playdate with just those two girls. Maybe they were going to play something they know your DD doesn't like. Maybe your DD isn't liked by one of them but they were too polite to say so. Maybe a thousand things. They don't owe your DD a playdate.

And this was not a moment to "advocate" for your daughter! You should have just let your daughter be hurt and verbalized her feelings with her. "It stinks to feel left out. You really wanted to be included and get to play with your friend just then." [/quote]
