We have begun to notice that a certain girl in dd's class at school only makes friends with children dd gets friends with.
I should say dd has at the moment a wide circle of friends so it doesn't affect her as much as it used to but it is still damn annoying.
If there is a girl or boy dd spends time particularly with this girl or her mother will swoop in offering them holidays, days out etc. It usually ends either with the child feeling completely suffocated by the family or the child saying that they do not want to do what is planned and because the girl and her mother don't like this they then target who ever dd has made friends with next.
Dd is 15 and has a Saturday job with a boy who is in her class so have been hanging out together. This week the mum of this girl swoops in and asks him to go on holiday with them. Dd thinks it is hilarious but I actually think it is a little stalkerish.
I should add that after each new "friendship" ends this girl takes time off school because she is in floods of tears.
I know there is probably little that can be done but would love to know if there is a name for someone who does this sort of thing. Also other parents have started to notice and think it is quite odd.
