[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See this is the problem.  Over-coddling moms who point fingers at others instead of themselves.  The previous post is spot on and the retort from another mom is a picture of the mean girls.  It's so immature for parents to bad-mouth kids.  Like so petty and ridiculous and they see no wrong in it or themselves, or their own kids.  I am right and you are wrong.  What a way to parent! [/quote]

Also, it's worth pointing out that in the OP, the OP said "The group attending these events tends to be somewhat amorphous -- a portion of the group will be invited, in most cases -- but DD is never one of the kids included."  To me, that shows it's less likely to be a mean girl/bullying thing and more likely just a normal shifting of friendships.  If it was usually all of the girls minus OP's DD, then that's one thing.  If get togethers are amorphous groupings of a portion of the girls, that's completely different.  OP's DD was always most likely one of the more peripheral members of this group.  Now that they're generally getting together in smaller groups, she's not going to be one of the few picked for something.  It absolutely hurts, but it's not necessarily malicious on the part of the other girls.  [/quote]
