[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen this PP. There is a mom who did this in elementary school and middle school. She would identify kids and parents she wanted to be friends with and wanted her son to be friends with and cultivate them, sometimes breaking apart long standing social groups. She was very charming to those who mattered to her and ignored those who didn't. [/quote][/quote]

It happened to us, and it was bizarre.  Mom (early elementary school, her only child was a boy) cultivated friendship with my DD's bff, and bff's mom, and created friction between my DD and her bff.  My DD was so offended that it destroyed her relationship with bff.    On a side note, these kids are now young adults.  I recently noticed the mom of the boy is very active in a young girl's sports activity that brings kids to the area.  She had only one child - the boy who is now a young adult - but she's involved in a sports activity for tween/early teen girls?  Based on how we were really burned by her a long time ago, I feel sorry for any kid groups in her orbit - but I'm completely removed from that world at this point, and you'd think other people in that world would know this idiot pretty well by now.[/quote]
