Relative chidren leaving my child out.

We went to a garden party and the other relatives daughters were leaving my DD out and basically wouldn't play with her.One girl in particular,(my SIL's DD) starts it.She just doesnt want my DD to play with anyone!I spoke to them and said it wouldn't be nice if someone did that to them but they carried on.I ended up playing with my DD as I felt so sorry for her.She is an only child so has no siblings either to play with.
I have spoken to my husband about this who has also noticed it and spoke to the girls.No point!
I have told my daughter not to play with this girl again as its not nice what she did.These girls are 10-11 year olds.

There is no point speaking to my SIL as she is aware of this but will not do anything.What do I do next time this happens?

I know they are only primary school age but I just dont understand why my DD cousin can be so cruel like that.She basically didn't want anyone playing with my DD.

Is your dd 10/11 also?

I wouldn't go again and say why. They are far too old for this rude and mean behaviour.

I wouldn't be mixing with them if they're going to go on like that.

Next family function that you can't get out of, let DD bring a friend. And avoid them as much as possible. I would be clear to SIL why as well

Me and my DD didnt want to go for this very reason but then thought we wouldn't let these girls stop is from having a good time.

Yeah don't bother attending again. Your poor DD!

Yes, no more family functions with that side of your family. This is bullying and you can protect her from this.

My dh is an only child so all my neices and nephews are on my side and I know my siblings wouldn't tolerate their children being so mean to a cousin.
