Your daughter was speaking her mind. Saying that the woman's conversations about body image make her uncomfortable is NOTHING to apologize for. Telling her friend that she thinks her mom is a pain in the neck does require an apology....to the friend. ALL tweens and teens think their own parents and typically all adults are pains in the neck (I've been called worse LOL). It was in bad taste for her to tell her friend this as that IS the girl's mother and she loves her mother regardless of what she acts like.

If you feel your daughter needs to apologize to the parents, make sure she specifically apologizes for the rude remark about her being a pain inthe neck but I think she should reiterate that the conversations about body fat and weight make her uncomfortable.

She has the right to her feelings and should not have to apologize for them. Would you want her to apologize for stopping a boy that was doing something that "made her uncomfortable"? NO. You would tell her to tell the boy so and stand up for herself. No different here.

Once the apology has been done. See how things simmer for awhile. The woman may come back and apologize for her own rude behavior and things may be made right again. If not, I agree with the other posters. My child would not set foot in that woman's house again if she could not be mature enough and find it in herself to apologize for her own rudeness after your daughter has.
