DD16 won concert tickets....but there is a problem....

You probably don't have to encourage your dd to try to break away from these other girls and the mother. This incident might just cause the relationship to fade away gradualy anyway. Unfortunately, some mothers do the unthinkable when it comes to there children. Instead of encouraging a true friendship and instilling a "do the right thing" attitude in her dd, she's in her own way, telling her dd that she deserves....and she comes first. While we all want the very best for our kids and it just breaks our hearts when others try to walk all over them, your doing the right thing in letting your dd handle things on her own. To me (and alot of kids) nothing can be worse then a mother who oversteps her bounds and tries to get involved alittle too much in their dd's and friends business. We all know this type of parent, they're like the "stage moms". Your dd was nice enough to get extra tickets for the other girls, so they should be happy. The other mother should be ashamed of herself for putting your dd in a position to feel uncomfortable and ganged up on. I wouldn't mention it to the other mom about her childish behavior because like you said, the girls will get over a disagreement, but, the parents can be mad over this for a long time. Given the fact that your dd did the right thing and was nice about it, is your reward and satisfaction. Your dd sounds like a great kid.....
