[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are right that your daughter does not and should not have to hang out with this girl just because you are friends with her mom.  However, it sounds like she is old enough to know how to decline in a polite and kind way vs. how she did.  I would meet with the mom once, explain that you are disappointed with how your daughter handled it, but that the kids can't be forced to be friends, just polite and kind.  I doubt it will fix the friendship with her mom, but it is still worth doing.[/quote]+1

As a teen, I expected that my mom wouldn't pick fights with my friends' parents because that could have blowback on my friendships.  I don't care if they disagreed about PTA initiatives, I expected her to play nice.

You should expect the same of your daughter.  You are friends with the mom.  She needs to be kind to the daughter.  They don't have to be besties, but she needs to put in some effort.

You should be mad at your daughter.  It's not okay for her to be mean to a family friend, even if she doesn't really like the girl.  She needs to find a way to at least be friendly and kind.[/quote]
