[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. The girls would tell their parents that an adult was listening to their private conversation and would tell their parents that they weren’t being mean. They would explain how this annoying girl is mean to them and they don’t want to hang out with her.

I’m not saying this is at all reality or that it is okay for them to gossip in public, but it is in the reality in the minds of 12 year olds.  The parents were not there and are trying to figure out if their children are telling the truth or if some crazy parent is after their kid.  It’s best to let it go even though it stings. [/quote]
