[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry you completely lost me when you said a friend that moved away and eventually got busy was ignoring your child, and then talked about your daughter texting the girl's adult parents for hangouts? What on earth is going on here. [/quote]

Really? You’re confused? The girl moved when she was in 4th grade. Most kids do not have phones that young. Of course it would have been OP texting the girl’s parents for play dates.

This isn’t hard. [/quote]

Apparently, it is for you:
"DD would send texts to Sally's mom and dad asking to meet up with Sally, several times these went unanswered"

OP didn't send the texts. Her child did.
OP is very off the mark by brining the fact that the other child had moved away and lost touch into this, at all.[/quote]

Are you people (collectively, not necessarily the PP) really saying you've never been texted by your child's friends? Especially when they were younger? And especially if you had close connections (neighbors you saw a lot, family friends, etc.)? Weird if so. [/quote]

OP here. Just clarifying:

We are neighbors. Sally and DD went to the same elementary school. Sally switched schools in 4th grade, but we continued to be neighbors. They are in different middle schools now.
After Sally moved to a different school, her interactions with DD reduced drastically. DD would use my phone to text Sally's parents to see if Sally could hang out. These texts many times went unanswered, or we would hear by back that Sally is busy and will write back (she never did).

I hope that helps.
