[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, you're overreacting on every front.
1. Parents are on the playground all the time at our school. There's nothing more normal. You're "furious"? Perhaps you need to spend more time at the school yourself. 
[b]2. Her daughter came home upset that your daughter was mean to her.[/b]
3. She spoke politely to your daughter [i]about an issue with your daughter[/i]
4. Your daughter is old enough not to have HER mother stand between her and the rest of the world, at least on this level.

I was going to say "I can't believe that...", but yes, I can believe that your[b] first reaction isn't to have a conversation with your daughter about her mean girl tendencies[/b], but to flip out on DCUM about the presence of a parent on the playground. Please get your priorities straight. [/quote]

[b]I just said that my daughter is NOT a Mean Girl[/b], you seem very presumptuous.  I asked DD if she was ever mean to this other girl and she said no, that they just don't hang out because they have different interests.  If my DD was mean, I would DEFINITELY want to know, so I can fix the behavior however I do not want some adult to approach my daughter.[/quote]

NP here. Yeah, I remember being told by the mother of the Head Mean Girl in my then-5th grade DD's class that her daughter was not that kind of kid. Right.

Obviously, someone's mother is misinformed and I couldn't say which without knowing what actually happened, but please consider the possibility that your daughter may in fact have done something hurtful and maybe either isn't being totally honest with you/herself, or just didn't consider the other girls' perspective.[/quote]
