HI Nina, It occurs to me that this Mom might just sit tight (which can include hanging back a little) and wait for Jr. High friendship changes to happen organically, because it's highly likely that they will, and then the Mom's will likely organically fall away from each other too.
On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with this Mom deciding that she no longer wants to be an active part of this group. My Mom wasn't friends with any of my friends Moms, and with the exception of one friends Mom who I dearly loved, and still love, and thought it would be really cool if my mom was friends with her, it didn't bother me a bit. I think with healthy home lives, and a few other adult mentors/examples may not really need all their friends parents to group up.
Vicky, this is so true and great advice. My mom's robust social life also had nothing whatsoever to do with mine. Thank you for taking the time to add your thoughtful words here.
