[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, put yourself in this mom’s shoes. Say it’s your daughter who is suddenly being rudely excluded by someone she’s been close friends with for 8 years, and she’s feeling upset / betrayed / hurt. Of course it’s going to bleed over….I’m not saying they need to be besties, but I also would not have interest in remaining close with a mom who taught her daughter that was an acceptable way to treat someone she has been friends with for years.

You do not have to be BFFs with everyone, but I’ve always told my kids you can never have too many friends - it’s a realization I came to after middle school myself, and it’s served me very well ever since [/quote]

Other PP here.  IME, it says more about the moms than the girls, because if the girls can not be civil, even though they are no longer close friends, the moms should be sending a more positive message to their child to do so. The message should not be exclusion or ignoring, but being civil, even though they do not hang out together any more. It seems to trickle down, because they learn being mean somewhere, so it comes from home (usually a big sister or big brother). [/quote]

The other mom in this scenario is definitely teaching her kid to be a whiner. [/quote]
