[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 432756, member: 805"] Good Morning TM, My opinion as a mom who raised a girl - let her sort it out herself. I never, and I mean never, got in the middle of any of the drama. I always let easy child handle it it herself. How else was she going to learn? I didn't want to be one of those moms who was always up at school complaining about something... She is going to need to navigate this challenging "girl world" until at least 9th grade (things seem to quiet down with the maturing of high school a bit). You can be there for her to listen, give advise, support and hugs. But she is going to need to do this herself. She was feeling fragile because she wanted to be H's friend so she spilled. She needs to tell H that. Not that it may do any good. Girls usually are totally ruled by hormonal feelings at this age and rational doesn't usually come into play! It might be a little tough for awhile, but it will fade and be forgotten. It's not the end of the world, but girl drama makes it feel like it is. Resist the urge, take your coffee outside and sit by the pool after Duckie gets on the bus! 15 minutes of quiet time for Mom. Sharon [/QUOTE]
