my dd1 started a new school this week - she has gone into yr 2. There were 5 girls in the class before she joined. In the summer hols we were invited to one of the girls birhtdays ( very thoughtful) . at the party this girl's father commented to me that he was pleased my dd was joing the class as he didn't think much of hte other girls - poor manners, snooty families "wouldn't invite any back to tea" but he htought after initial meeting dd had "lovely manners" and hoped his dd an dmine would be friends. I thought that this was quite nice but a little intense considering we had only just met them. anyway day 2 yesterday and at pick up 2 other little girls go down to school playing field for after school runa round ( apparent ly hte done hting) they ask dd to go to, but she says "oh *** has asked me to play " it turns out that the original little girl isn't allowed to join in after school run around ( they live next to school) so i felt obliged to go wiht dd 1 and this girl and her parent sot her house to play, other 2 little girls qute sad about htis. Now DD has told me originally little girl wants to be her best friend ( i think maybe she was odd one out of group of 5 and so has latched onto dd and her parents are really pushing this) i don't mind but want dd to play/be friends wiht all her new classmates and am worried this family will some how prevent this by pushing their daughter onto dd....am i being paranoid? sorry long post
