[QUOTE="Shari, post: 379646, member: 1848"] She had a softball game last night, so, obviously, husband and I went. I'm not even sure what to say. She needs help? Understatement. She is in middle school. They play 2 games and have the equivilent of a varsity and a junior varsity game, mostly divided by grade (7th grade and then 8th grade) but not entirely. The mostly 8th grade team played first. Cgfg is in 8th grade, but she did not play in the first game. She played one inning in the 7th grade game. For the entire duration of the rest of the evening, she did not even sit in the dugout with her team. She showed up if she thought she might get to play, then she went to sit with her mom and grandma in the stands. She tried to come sit with us, and her dad told her she needed to go sit with her team. She left, but went straight back to her mom. 32 girls on the combined teams, and she has the attitude that they "aren't my friends" so much she can't even sit with them and be part of the team. And her mom thinks its great she wants to be with her so much. I think its sad. A 13 year old girl has so isolated and so a part of nothing. It just made me angry to be there. I am not sure what to do, but I'm contemplating not going back. [/QUOTE]
