[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She needs to diversify friends. Never a good idea to have all eggs in one basket for this very reason. When this was happening with my DD it was b/c she wasn't mature enough at the time: still enjoyed kid things, wasn't interested in boys, etc. And that's fine. But . . .

[b]It's still a jerk move for the kids. 
It's a jerk move for the parents, who ABSOLUTELY know.
As long as their jerk kids are included, the jerk moms don't care that yours is not. Fact. And any attempts to call them on it will backfire on you and your kid[/b]. I've seen it happen a million times with other kids (not my own as I know better).

If you're recoiling at the word jerk, it's b/c you are one. Do better. Teach your kids better. You don't have to include everyone all the time. But these kids are openly excluding. Either speak up about why or quit being jerks.[/quote]

Yeah.  Unfortunately, this is true.  Once the Queen Bee has targeted someone, there is really nothing that can be done, but help the kid find a new group. And, OF COURSE the parents know.  If 6 of them get in a car as a group that used to be 7, they notice.  The parents don't care b/c it's not happening to their kid.  It's gross.[/quote]
