DD I guess will be staying home alone tonight. She has really become "persona non grata" here the last month or two. She has tried so hard the last few weeks to make plans with friends. Last weekend, one of her "best" friends promised her this weekend they would hang out. Dd had a lax tourned all day - as soon as it was done she called the friend. The friend was called to babysit. So she made some plans with some of her lax friends - and blew off bf. Now the lax friends have blown her off too. Her 2 best best friends are of course off w/ their boyfriends.

She's taking it okay, but I know it bothers her. She has always had tons of friends :(

I can't even remember the last time she had fun where boyfriend wasn't at her side... and she really has tried...

Sorry for the whine....

The one thing I like about dd's job is the hours. While school is still in she works M-F, 2:30 - 5pm. Once school gets out, she will be working 7am-12pm (when most of her friends will just be waking up!) with few weekends.

My dd only did lax to stay in shape too and to keep herself busy, rather than just sitting home staring at aim and myspace. She used to play and love soccer, but had to give it up for cheering. Playing lax allows her to have the best of both worlds - somewhat lol

Hi. I really feel for you since I have a dd in high school and have ridden the same roller coaster a few times. I don't know how old your dd is but mine is 16 and I must say that the ups and downs with friends seems to come and go. And, boy oh boy, I really relish those "up" times. It seems as though somebody in the group ends up being low-man on the totem pole for a while, some kind of silly infraction or some other reason that will never be known :-).

One mom gave me what I thought was good advice when I was stressing about my dd being blue 'cause she was on the "outs" with her girlfriends. Just keep your ears open and listen when she wants to talk and keep her BUSY. It does seem to work. I'm know that my dd thinks I'm a terrible substitute for her girlfriends but I figure if I can keep her busy and not sitting around sulking then eventually things will get better. It does seem to work. And remember, this too will pass...

Big hugs and my hopes that everything will get back on course very soon.

I dont want to jinx it, but yesterday after she got home from work, she had a message on myspace inviting her to go to our local amusement park on saturday. It was from one of the boyfriendless best friends - she also said how much she missed her. I hope it pans out, omg do I hope it happens lol....

This ride definitely is a rollercoaster ;p

So glad to hear that your dd heard from one of her gf's and is going to an amusement park. I hope she has a great day. I think it hurts us as much as it hurts them when this stuff happens. I'm crossing my fingers that all is getting back on track. :-)

Fingers crossed too, but I'm definitely not holding my breath!!

All of these girls are really good kids and I didn't have to worry about what was really going on when she was with them... I really hope things are back to normal and soon lol

Thanks for the good wishes!!
