To have told her to F off?

This is what I have done but in temper.

I introduced my friend (A) to another friend of mine (B) last year. Their daughters (age 13) became friends in the last month.

I also have a DD the same age who has been friends with both of the girls for a few years.

The other two girls starting ignoring mine, even at a recent party my DD said they refused to speak to her all night. Mean girl stuff such as standing staring at her and whispering.

I spoke to both my friends, A & B. They spoke to their DD's who denied it.

I then received by accident a text message from B which was meant for A laughing about the incident, they'd been joking about it. It read as though both my friends were actively involved in the incident.

I told A who is a friend of longer standing and we are supposedly close that I was upset to receive this and rather than her explain and apologise she started attacking my DD and that she's jealous of their girls friendship.

She listed stuff from primary school regarding friendship issues involving her DD, mine and various other names and said any problems are my DD's making.

She admitted that she's been talking about me and DD to B and said I would have done the same. This I would never do and shocked she would think this is ok.

She was really nasty and venemous which I have never seen before. She thinks it's ok that B told the girls to ignore my DD even though last week she denied they were ignoring her.

I've had loads of text, ( many I have not read but husband has) attacking my DD over stuff at primary when the girls fell out.

I told her to F off. She said it's a shame to ruin a frienship. Is she crazy or am I not seeing something?

Thanks

YANBU - I'd have told her the same.
Even if the girls are friends again next week I wouldn't want to mates with A and B after they've been laughing about your concerns behind your back.
You're well rid of the two of them, especially A.
I hope your own DD doesn't suffer any more crap from their DD's.

they sound horrible. keep away.

i know what someone else said about the Queen B friend - i had one of those. when i walked away, it did me the power of good.

AreAllMenTheSame2 · 07/10/2012 20:39

You did better than I would of!!! How horrible, I would be devastated if my so called friends did this to me. You and DD are better off without them in your lives. Give it a few week and A and B will have fell out over their daughters, which they will probably try to involve you in, dont fall for it!!

She ruined the friendship, not you. Yanbu.

ClippedPhoenix · 08/10/2012 11:56

YANBU - I'd tell them to fuck off as well.

There's a hidden code between my friends and I that we never ever discuss our children in a derogatory fashion and never get involved in disputes. A and B sound younger than their children.

After a weekend of tears shed over A, I have now calmed down and feel quite relieved now at my decision to never have contact with her again. It will be difficult sometimes as she lives close by.

DD stayed out of the girls way at school but she did have other girls approach her commenting on stuff that the DD's of A&B had told them yesterday! A's daughter had a cheek to send my DD two facebook friend requests which she didnt accept. We have now blocked her to avoid anything further happening.

Luckily DD didnt see them on the way home from school as she decided to stay over in the school library to do her homework.

Thank you for your support.x

Sorry, not really looking for advice as had loads from you all already!

Just posting to let off steam really. Feels good to write it down.

Saw a couple of aquaintances in restaurant last night ( friends of A - also have dd's in same school year). They completely ignored me. We usually chat, always have done. Saw their DD's out with A's DD this week.

Obviously all talking about me and DD. Am ignoring it but finding it quite difficult.

Try and rise above the childish behaviour. It is difficult but at least you know that your acquaintances are not worth the effort either. They are all sad people if you and your dd are all they've got to talk about. Pity their uneventful lives!

I'm getting dragged into this sort of childish playground behaviour and DD is only 6! I am too old for this kind of shite and am nearly 10 years older than some of the mums - if they want to act the same as their 6 year old DD's then they can get on with it. I now smile and say hello but have completely withdrawn from all their cliquey bitchness

hugs to you but do not cry any more over these drama queens

veryhurt · 12/10/2012 14:41

Thank you Roulade & Redlac. Yes will continue to rise above it. Time is a healer as they say!
