I have a 14 year old daughter who has a close circle of friends.
I seem to get incredibly over invested in all the up and downs of girl friendships!
I very occasionally meet up socially with three mums of her ‘best’ friends who are lovely and whenever she has arguments (rarely) with these girls I panic as I feel the mums will judge me! We aren’t close enough to discuss these kind of things but if they don’t reply to my texts I worry it’s because of the actions of my daughter! Despite the fact my daughter is actually usually very pleasant and kind to everyone bar the odd fallout. She’s always been taught to be kind to everyone but to not let others take advantage of her.
Her friendships seem to naturally be changing and she is now closer to one of the friends that she went to school with during lockdown - they were the only two out of the group that had to still go. There haven’t been any fallouts but I’m worrying that she’s leaving the other girls out. God I’m so pathetic! I’m so preoccupied with wanting her to be kind.
I need to get a grip on myself but I’m finding it tricky!
