My DD is 9. She struggles with friends I think at school. She used to be child x friend at nursery and were best of friends for a couple of years. Anyway she wanted to invite child x in a outing
As she’s been desperate to be good friends again. Anyway my husband said child x kept going on about how good she was at stuff and how she had such good friends ie meaning not my daughter! At the outing today she kept saying she missed friend X who had moved away and how she wishes it was tomorrow rather than today because she’s going to x camp with her best friend x. My kids were then going off to granny’s so I took all my kids friends home. Well this girl then proceeded to slag off my daughter saying she was constantly getting her into trouble for not playing with her and seeming taking apparent glee in how jealous my dd is of her friends blah de blah! I dropped her off and asked if all had gone ok. I said yes but she was missing friend x. Her dad said really, she hasn’t mentioned her for months. Anyway left it at that but I’m furious. She wasn’t being rude in the true sense but she knew exactly what she was doing in (1) trying to make my dd jealous while on an outing and (2) trying to tell me my dd constantly gets her into trouble and loads of other stuff. My dd was being sympathetic with her and asking me if she’ll ever see her friend that moved away again. She went to give her a hug at the end but basically tensed up while my dd said to her dad that me and friend x are getting on much better. I feel sad for her as she has cried she has no real friends. She goes to loads of clubs and stuff so she is getting out and about. I always thought child x was a nice girl as her mum is so fair and tries to do right by everyone but I’ve seen it first had what a manipulative so and so she is and clearly takes glee out of my dd feeling jealous and hurt.
