[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]

They are separate people from their children.  You should be able have a relationship with adult women that is separate from your daughter and their children’s dynamic [/quote]

NP: nope, not in this scenario. Our kid grew apart and went their separate ways (normal)? Yes, of course we can still be friends! Our kids had a personal falling out or a squabble? Yep, still friends. But if your kid is relentlessly bullying mine? Umm, no. We are certainly NOT friends. Why would I want to be your friend? [/quote]

Because they aren’t their child?  Unless the bullying is happening in their home- they may not even know about it.  Why do you think a parent has the control to stop something that is happening at school? The school is responsible for disciplining this and looping the parent in[/quote]
