[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This does not sound like bullying - I hate how that word gets thrown around.[/b]

It sounds to me like they were having fun, got carried away, and went too far.  Help your daughter clean up, talk about it a little, then let it go.  [/quote]

:lol:   :lol:  :lol:  :lol: PP, that's SO funny how you just dismissed OP's daughter's feelings.  :roll:

It wasn't funny to her, so it's NOT having fun. It's mean behavior. And if it's mean, time to intervene. [/quote]

Maybe you have younger children, but your advice here is absolutely wrong.  You do not intervene everytime someone is mean to your child.  At this age, the child MUST learn how to handle things herself.  Are you going to intervene when someone is mean to your child in high school?  In college?  The only way she will learn is if she has practice.

I do agree that OP's DD should be validated.  I think what PP was saying was that its possible the other girls thought this was a light hearted, fun joke.  They were wrong, obviously, because OP's DD's was hurt.  but its possible they didn't see that coming and will feel remorse.  That would be the best outcome.  And it won't happen if Mama Bear calls out the other parents.[/quote]
