[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's time for dd to find new friends, this is normal around grades 5-8 where groups start to shift and change. You can empathize but it's time to regularly and gently introduce the idea of finding new friends.

What are your dd's issues? Mine was overly blunt. She needed to learn to be a less blunt AND find friends who appreciated a direct style.[/quote]

DD must find new friends - these friends have already told her how they feel.  [b]Do NOT involve the parents, that will only make it much worse for your kid. [/b]

These women are the OPs FRIENDS!  I don't know what type of friends you all have but I could certainly ask my friends why our kids are no longer hanging out. 
We are open and close enough that one of my friends could tell me:  "well, your kid is being a PITA to the group"  or I could ask them: "Is my kid being a PITA to the group?" without any of us getting offended. 
If OP cant have this conversation then she isn't actually friends with these women.  She is just mom "friends" or acquaintances.  [/quote]

Ugh - no, no, no. When will you moms stfo of your kids lives. [b]These moms are not OP’s real friends[/b]. [/quote]

OP said they were her FRIENDS.  She mentioned several times that they were friends.

I guess they are just mom "friends".  
If you can't have this type of conversation then they are "friends" and nothing more. 
Move on OP.
