I am heartbroken for my daughter. My daughter never used to play out in the street with friends but lately she has been playing with a little girl who is our neighbour. The little girl introduced my daughter to her friend who lives over the road - let’s call her Amy. My daughter goes to a different school to the other two girls but her and Amy really hit it off and my daughter was saying that is her best friend and they seemed to get along so well together.
The other week my daughter was riding her bike and has ridden across the road with Amy and her sister following her, Amy’s mum shouted at my daughter which I understand as she knows that is unacceptable to be riding her bike on across the road. I was at my sons parents evening and my mother in law who was watching her did not actually see this happen but after this incident she came back into the house. The following day Amy’s mum approached me and told me what had happened and said that due to this her daughter was not allowed her bike anymore. I apologised sincerely and I explained to my daughter if she wanted to play with Amy then she would have to leave her bike at home to which she agreed.
My daughter tried to speak to Amy on several occasions asking if she could play with her to which my daughter was told no as Amy said she had to go inside soon, this was not the case. Today my daughter went to Amy’s house and asked if she wanted to play, Amy told her no she can’t play with her anymore and then Amy’s mum told my daughter to go away. I am so heartbroken for my daughter and I don’t just want to go over to speak to Amy’s mum as I don’t want to seem hostile. I am just so sad for my daughter I could cry.
