My dd age 10 has an ongoing friendship issue with her "best" friend, they fall out often but sort it themselves after a few days. I keep trying to get dd to mix with others but she keeps going back to this girl. yesterday my dd gave her friend a xmas present which was happily received but today friend brought my dd a present in and said be on your best behaviour or ill give it to someone else. Dd said do what you want, she gave it to another child. I know im bu but i want to say to the mum tomorrow give my dd her present back that she bought out of her own money, i know I can't but im sad and angry on dds behalf

No, YANBU. My daughter handed in a secret Santa present today and the girl receiving apparently said ‘thanks, but it’s not my colour’. She’s 9. Kids can be dicks Hmm

How horrible!
How well do you know the other mum? If she’s a mate of yours you could make sure she knows what happened (with a smile on your face)
The thing is, your dd said “do what you want “
She didn’t allow this girl to bully her. Hopefully it’s been a big lesson learned, this ‘friend’ sounds like a little shit

Do NOT get involved! Do NOT speak to the other child's mum.

Support your DD. Listen to her. Give advice/offer techniques.

But don't get involved. You'll regret it!

And this too shall pass...

I would think less of you and would not hesitate to tell you to fuck off. We aren't fighting, don't come to my door being all confrontational about a spat between 10 year olds.
