Hello, My DD who is 5 has been playing with two girls at school and claim them to be her best friends since the foundation. She has recently been to one of the girl houses for a play date and we thought it will be good to arrange the playdate with these girls so, sent the invite to the mums asking for the usual i.e. their availability and any dietary requirements.. I got the response from both mums and agreed to have the playdate on one of the weekends. But only few days before the playdate, got the text NOT in person chat that her daughter won't be able to come to the playdate in spite telling her dietary requiremnets 2 days ago and she is struggling with her friendship with my daughter and needs some space and time from her. Then she added that she is going through a lot of changes right now which to me seems weird because I know that her parents are seperated and they both are co parenting for few years now and that she is having a half brother later this year which she told herself to my daughter a while ago.
My question is that what made her changed her mind and is it okay for me to be angry at her text? My daughter told me that sometimes in the play they disagree and if she said something to her and any child, she says sorry and that's normal I think because I heard them saying one day they are angry at each other and next day they are best friends bearing in mind that they are in year 1!
I, of course, texted her back saying although I was furious that It's okay and thanks for letting me know. My problem is that I read this text when my daughter was with me and she is hurt that her friend doesn't want to play with her anymore. Any suggestions please how to handle this situation and not let my DD got affected by it?
