[quote=Anonymous]First off, yes this happens in 5th grade. To those berating the mom for micromanaging, you don't get how delicate a situation this can be. We want our kids to learn to manage, but no parent should just step all the way back. Just yesterday there was yet ANOTHER article about a kid (age 11) who committed suicide over bullying. I think you need to stop belittling parents who care. Yes, we cannot micromanage, but we all have to figure out how much of a role to play based on our own kids.

That said, OP at my kid's school the "lunch bunches" are for kids with social skills issues (like one of my kids) or for kids having enough drama in their friendships that a parent calls and asks for the schools help in working with the kids. I cannot imagine it would even be just a bunch of cool girls getting to be exclusive. More likely these "popular" girls are having problems getting along with eachother.

Many HUGS to you OP. It's hard. I'm right there with you. And yes, boys do this too, but it has a different flavor in our case.[/quote]
