[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously? What should OP have said? And don’t you think that would just add fuel to the fire?

OP, I’m so sorry. I can imagine how that hurt. [/quote]

"Hi girls.  I'm Larla's mom."

That's it.  They will know.[/quote]

No, no, no.   This is just setting your kid up for ridicule.  The daughter would be MORTIFIED if she knew her mom engaged with her "friends"/teammates at all.  Mortified.

I have 12 (13 in Sept) year old twins.  If a parent stepped in (from a stall none-the-less) the "mean" girls I know would die of laughter as soon as the mom left the room. 
Now do you not only have an unliked kid you have a kid with a really weird mom (in the eyes of a 13 year old). [/quote]

Don't you think the girls would be mortified and worried about the possibility that you will go speak to their parents and they would get in trouble? I would have been mortified and worried about getting in trouble, but that's my personality. [/quote]

No, because I don't think these kids care what their parents think and I honestly don't think the parents will care either.  I'm always shocked by what parents don't care about.  And even those who do care--are they really going to remember to say something?  I bet if you say something to a parent, the chance of a lecture actually reaching the kids is less than 20%  Maybe even less than that.  
You just have to let things like this go.    Your kid didn't even overhear anything. [/quote]
