I had a friend do something similar once when I invited her over to watch a season premiere. I was all excited about it. Thought we'd gab about it that whole time. Nope. She was on texting someone the entire time. And we were in our 30's. People sure can suck. Hugs to your daughter. I hope your game time showed her how much she is valued.
That is even worse! An adult shouldn’t be so rude when they are a guest at someone else’s home. People do suck. Plus season premieres and finales should be top priority and definitely gabbed about extensively.

Mom comedy is great. Shows you're engaged and generally awesome. :] Also, might this be a chance to chat with daughter's friend's mom about 'hey maybe next time she shouldn't do this' or would that feel too much like lecturing another parent on their parenting skills? I guess it depends on whether you have a relationship with that parent, but I think there's gotta be a tactful/gentle way to bring it up...
I don’t know her parents all that well. If a natural opening presented itself I’d probably say something. I don’t think I’m going to force the issue though.

I considered that possibility but she isn’t exactly that shy when talking to me or using questionable language and such so I’m not sure she’s uncomfortable here. Plus I make an effort to be invisible and not make things weird for them. I generally try to stay out of their way and mind my own business unless they need ideas on what to do...or food.

I mean, I hope that didn't sound cruel just that girl is not a good friend and I hope she gives her up and finds a friend she really clicks with.

Well, maybe this will be the wakeup call that prompts her to get better friends.
That doesn’t sound cruel at all! I tell her constantly to make new friends but she isn’t strong or confident enough to do that. I think it has a lot to do with it being elementary school so they are stuck with the same 20 kids, in the same classroom everyday. I think once she hits middle school and the environment and people change she’ll be able to break ties easier and change things up.
