[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this story crazy. In particular, the hate on OP.  And I'm the parent of a special needs, socially awkward kid who is often on the receiving end of social stigma.

OP's daughter did not engage in bullying.  It sounds like she engaged in one sh*tty text correspondence. For all the people saying that OP's daughter totally sucks for this.... wow, you all must have been perfect teenagers, because despite being popular as a kid, I handled like 80% of my social interactions with less than perfection.  Because I was a kid, navigating new territory. Absolutely, OP should speak to her daughter, express disappointment and talk about how this should have been handled. But OP's daughter should not be labeled a mean girl for one screw up.

Also, this world of "girl moms" is bizarre to me, as the parent of boys.  But my neighbor is in the same world.  15 year old girls, friends since preschool. [b]The bizarre thing to me is that the moms all seem to have been living vicariously through their daughters.[/b] Like, my neighbor's weekend plans are "Larla is going to the mall with their friends" -- which, without it being spoken, means my neighbor also goes along with, and she and the moms and all the tween/teen girls all hang out at the mall, go shopping, go to Starbucks, etc etc.  And then Friday night Larla is going to her friends house, which means my neighbor is going to hang out too.  Maybe at age 10 this made sense, but this is still happening at age 15.  So just like the OP, some drama went down, one mom got pissed, etc etc, and [b]I'm listening to my neighbor tell me this story and can't believe grown women are wrapped up in this. [/b] [/quote]

You have no idea!  Some moms really want their kid to be in with certain other kids.  For example, you will ask about their kid's plans, and the mom will literally first spout that other kid's name, as if the other kid is in her family.  It is lunacy.  OP, back away slowly, you will be glad you did.  You really do not want to be around that kind of toxicity, and you definitely do not want your kids around that group, especially in high school.
