"Kim" (9) from next door and mine (7) are friends and get along well. Kim and one of HER friends from school came over and asked mine to ride bikes. Mine went out and I watched from the house as the two ignored mine, chatted w/each other, then went back into Kim's house, w/out a word to mine. Of course mine felt stupid and continue to ride her scooter for a few more minutes. Then I went out w/her once I realized they had ditched her. I know these things happen at school, but this was on our own turf. I usually let the kids work things out themselves, but this was different; it's almost like they called her out there just to step all over her. Mine isn't perfect, but she would never do that. We don't play that game and treat our friends w/respect. Plus, Kim has done similar things, so I feel like she used this oppotunity to "show off" , at my childs expense. I want them to remain freinds, but on equal terms. I fully plan on saying something to Kim...what would you say?
