[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine moving rather than addressing the behaviour of their child with your child and/or the other child's parents.

Why would you not enlighten your dd with your insights on her behaviour/treatment by this child?

The answer: you feel so weird/guilty about your envy that you are trying to bury it. Your DD has picked up on your not-so-covert worship and is also infatuated. Shut this down.

"friendships should be equal" "don't try so hard" "say no to invites once in a while", etc etc. If that doesn't work, address the mean-girlishness with the mum. If she cares/corrects it great, if not, distance yourselves; don't move.

PS you aren't closet-gay are you? Is this more than asexual infatuation?[/quote]

Good observation! OP, you have some underlying issues that need to be addressed.  Jealousy/fixation happens, but what you are feeling seems more than that. Do you know the mom well, or are you just "competing" with her, in your mind?  It is insightful of you to admit that you were an outsider and not accepted, so you deflect that onto the new neighbor.  I have seen this before, so I wonder if I know you. [/quote]
