Problems with D’s friends

Continuing problems with D’s friends. Group of around 8 always got on okay - main issues with girl next door not seeming to like her D very much. She has now made a WhatsApp group for park catch ups and purposely left my D off. No one has thought to add D in so whether they babe been told not to I don’t know (she has asked a couple but have said they can’t as didn’t make group). She feels lonely and that she has no one to turn to as all the others are included therefore have no issue. She has been out with a couple in smaller groups but it seems to be this one so trying to isolate her even from this by making a different group and she is scared to ask now in case she is rejected. Unfortunately the other mums don’t seem to care at all when I approached then a couple of years back with similar issues so I am not going to go down that road again (I can only assume they don’t check phones and see what is going on as has been bullying on another group by a couple of them and my D left as she didn’t like it). I do encourage other friendships and we do lots as a family. I hope secondary school coming in sept she will move on from some of these girls she’s been with through 7 years of primary (even with going up with them) but at the moment just feel very sad and lonely in it all and we live in a smallish place so there is no escaping seeing or hearing!

If the other girls aren’t willing to include your dd and make a stand then they are not great friends and she’s better moving away from them. New friends in new school year , friends through hobbies. It’s better to have no friends than crappy ones.
