[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m dealing with this right now. I’ve been skipping school events and have ghosted my book club of moms and friends because a group of boys have been relentlessly bullying/harassing my DD this year. I know the moms are wondering why I’m not showing up, but we’re also not close enough friends that I feel comfortable explaining. And I don’t know what version of the events their boys or school have shared, which makes it more awkward.

I’m sad to not see them any more, because they are smart, interesting women. But their boys are little jerks, and I can’t figure out how to bridge that gap.[/quote]

You wait until one of the moms asks you why you're not around and you tell her.  If they don't ask, assume they know.[/quote]

Eh, in a similar situation sometimes the other parents are hearing dramatically different stories about why the kids aren't friends anymore. It gets tricky when any parents believe they can see the full picture.

Thus if you do talk to other parents about what you've heard about their kid's behavior, make it clear that you don't have all the info and leave open the possibility that your kids also is not perfect [/quote]

In my case (book club/sexual harassment mom), I am pretty confident my DD and the other girls have no complicity in the incidents but I still don’t feel comfortable talking to the moms about it. There isn’t an easy way to say that someone’s son has been air-humping your child in hallway lines or demanding they give them oral sex and then acting it out at the lunch table. [/quote]
