So before everyone thinks I am a contrarian, this is a great thread and I appreciate the insight.
Even with DD3, I am dealing with this. There are two 4 year old little girls in her class that are very exclusive and say things "you are not my friend so we are not going to play together" and I said all the appropriate stuff about that kind of thing being mean and I didn't allow playdates. Suddenly DD3 is saying those same things to a friend and found out that one of the 4 year olds has reached out and included DD3 in play. Despite all my talks, the allure of the exclusive and older friend was too much.
This topic worries me as the ex partier. And since I accelerated and the drinking age was 18 when I was a teenager, alcohol was a serious problem in HS and college.
