Trigger warning: If a mom doesn’t like you, there’s a good chance she’s not going to let her child get close to yours either. Or if they were close she’s going to tell them to stop playing.

And no, it’s not always because your child did something wrong. It’s bc she doesn’t like you. Why? Most of the time she can’t even name it.

But out of nowhere, she’s too busy for play dates or she’ll say the kids just aren’t that close anymore (when they’re totally fine). She’s also telling her child why would you play or sit with them?

So when she pulls away, the kids start pulling away. They’ll even start telling their other friends to not play with your child. That’s how exclusion starts. And listen, you do NOT have to like every parent. But when you allow that to impact innocent kids who just wanted to play. You’re teaching your child who gets included based on your personal feelings. That’s how grown mean girl behavior gets passed down the kids.
