[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And every mom at that school is going to hear this story. Now kid and mom are going to learn what intentional exclusion looks like.[/quote]

That other mom seemed gracious in her text response - maybe she's always a gracious person and won't tell people. Fingers crossed, for OP's kid's sake. [/quote]

I've been the other mom in a similar situation.  I didn't tell any of the other moms what happened.  I don't like gossips.   As much as I hate punishing kids for their parents behavior, it definitely impacted the kids friendship.  I really didn't want to have to interact with the mom a lot knowing she was prone to overreacting.   My kid has not been invited to things or has been left out.  It happens to every kid.  At some point, your kid is unintentionally going to leave a kid out and hurt their feelings.  It's part of life and is something that continues through adulthood.   If you want to do what's best for your daughter, you need to teach her how to manage her emotions surrounding these situations. [/quote]
