Why are girls sooo predictable??? This is my first experience of this, and I think I must have gaffed, so your advice will be warmly appreciated!
DD1 has been 'not invited' to the class Queen Bee/Bully's party (girl has invited all of DD1's "group", and I fear DD1 is a rival Queen Bee). Then the next day the QB/B gave her an invite. So I said she was not going.
That should be the end of the matter, but QB/B tends to target parents so she and her little minions came up to me in the playground (I have a reception age DD2) and said 'Pleeese DD1's mummy, can she come to my party?' So I said, 'You didn't invite her.' She said she had. I said no, 'You did not invite her and then you invited her the next day. So she's not going.'
Mysteriously, QB/B has been nice to DD1 (never a good sign) and then she tried to approach me with her smiling Stepdad in tow - I quickly ducked out of any conversation at all.
OK, I know - parents should never, ever get involved, and DD1 (year 6) needs to make her mistakes. I also added a moralising comment to QB/B about making friends with people who respect you, not those who treat you well... ARGH. Can I do anything to remedy the situation? I do feel strongly that she should NOT befriend someone who plays games - that may be too adult a reading, though.
