Thank you all for your replies. Cricket3 my daughter also gets dumped during the school year. Same thing. I wonder if it's got to do with her friend trying to fit in with the kids at school and/or because my dd goes to a different school?
Grintiy, thank you for the great advice. Not too much sharing at all:) I appreciate it all. I do need to look at this from a different perspective. I have enjoyed having her around the house more. Her siblings enjoy playing with dd too.
My dd takes horse riding lessons and her teacher has become quite a mentor and "friend." We'll need to find more interests like this and leave this neighborhood friendship for what it is.
Thanks!
