For parents of grade school age girls

I need your help! Is anyone else seeing how mean and nasty younger girls can be to one another? I have a daughter who is very strong minded, but yet is a very nice/sweet girl. I'm not saying she doesn't have her issues too but she isn't darn right nasty to her friends. One friend in her group of girls tends to be in charge of all the rest. Except for mine will stick up for herself and walk off to be with other friends if she doesn't like what the one is doing. But she is still friends w/her. Well this one friend, is having a party, and mine is the only one who is not included. Because of past history I know for a fact that at some point the gril having the party will let "it out" and then mine will be upest and sad. We decided to tell her vs her waiting to get hit with the news at school. She was sad of course, but worse yet doesn't understand why it is happening. I tried to explain that it's the way the other girls is being brought up. Her mom, likes her to be in charge and likes her to be head of the group. And she isn't afraid to let the other moms know this. The sad part is, I really believe IF the mom would back off the girls would all be fine and enjoy one another vs one being left out. This week it's mine and next week it will be someone elses. I know they say you shouldn't pick your childrens friends but we have tried to deal with this for 2 years now. And we are done. We have told our daughter she needs to play else where at school. And if and when the "friend" invites" her over because she's not "mad" at mine at this time we won't allow her to go. I know this sounds harsh but we can't see the pain in her eyes anymore. As a parent we hurt when she hurts. And if the other parents are allowing the child to act out in this way and be mean one day and nice other times when she "needs" someone I don't want my daughter part of it. I know everyone has a way they parent, I will listen to all...I am asking for opinions, not saying I will agree with you anymore than you do me...but I really would like to hear what you have to say. My son was and is much easier than what we are now dealing with for our daughter!
Thanks!!
