DD being left out

I just need to rant to stop me texting her friend's mother and telling her what I think! DD is 10 and in year 5. She has been in a threesome for a while and is now increasingly the one that#s left out. I have found out that the other 2 have both been invited to other friend's houses and DD has been the one left out. She has been really chilled about it and has become better friends with another girl which is no bad thing.
However today one of her friends has been bitching at her all day, saying she has nofriends and is horrible. Then I come home to find her mother has posted photos of her daughter with DD's 2 best friends all over facebook, obviously having a great time. I feel so sad for DD. Pathetic and a gross over reaction, I know but be kind to me

I think you need to calm down. The mother has done nothing wrong in posting the pics, although I appreciate it may anger you as you feel your DD is being left out.
As a mother of a 14 and 10 year old DD, I would say this is normal girl behaviour at this age. Threesomes don't last.
Don't let your DD see how upset you are, encourage her to move on and make new friends. Their loss is what I say!

Agree, move on.

Vent on here is best! Have been there etc. and usually no meanness is meant by the adults and the meanness of the girls is usually in retaliation for something said to them previously (if that makes sense!) Your dd will get over it better than you! Hope you feel better soon.

If the other girls were trying to be mean is even more a reason for your DD to just move on it takes the wind out of their sail.

As a mother of 3 girls, one being 10 I'd tell you that you need to step back a bit and calm down.

Some 10 year old girls are bitches in training they love being mean and leaving some one out Sad

Your daughter sounds very sensible and capable of finding new friends, I love my DD's not bothered approach.

Don't get me wrong, we have had nights of tears when DD has confessed she is lonely, no one likes her, x,y and z hate her..... These nights are usually followed with her coming out of school hand in hand with x y and z and wanting them to come over for dinner!!

I really do not get involved as the parents end up arguing and falling out whilst the girls are bffe againSmile

I'm glad I don't bother with Facebook, what i don't know can't give me the humpSmile

I kniow no mean ness is meant by the mums but when DD hasn't been invited anywhere for weeks, it rubs it in a little. And it does hurt thatno one thinks of her - remember she's mine!
We do encourage new friends, have them over for tea etc etc. Just needed to moan. And yes facebook is hideous but I use to keep in touch with people I love!
I don't think I was as het up as you all took me. Calming down is all done :)
