DD had a little pal over for a playdate the other week. I know the Mum quite well and we really get along as do the girls (aged just 4). They had a great time together just a little barney over costume dress up which was resolved perfectly fine.
When the girls Mum came to fetch her we had a nice chat and she said how well they get on and how she would love them to keep in touch. Then DD comes out with a bit of a silly comment, I think it was her idea of cracking a little joke, but she is very blunt and she said "I am glad X is going as we had a bit of an argument over the dresses!" said with a big smile and again in a jokey way. The Mum was fine at the time and I just laughed and explained that it really wasn't the case and then we continued a nice chat and the girls said a nice goodbye.
I have recently contacted her about a party and she is not responding which is odd for her she normally gets back v quickly. Do you think she may be offended by what DD said? surely she would know that girls at this age bicker and sometimes don't really know what they are saying? I would be v interested in your views - have to go for a b it now but will be back asap thanks
