friends help: i think that my mum and my best friend’s mum sort of had a fight. - Help.com

why would it be a secret?

Dont interfere. Its up to the grown ups to sort it out. Keep quiet until its all resolved.You risk losing your best friend if this is not carefully handled, so best to stay quiet for the time being

Absolutely, I agree with this. It is never a good idea to get involved in other people’s arguments.

As for knowing the reason, you may only know one side - your mum’s, and your friend’s mum may have a completely different perspective. You could end up making it worse as the other mum may want to keep her daughter from this conflict, and it could damage the relationship further and make the argument worse if your friend’s mum hears your mum’s views coming out of your best friend’s mouth.

Why in the world would you want to find the key reason why? That’s their business, not yours. Stay out of it. If they wanted to talk to you about it, they would have. They are keeping it to themselves because it is their own matter.

In all honesty? It’s none of your business. I second with TheClever1

As I said, she told you her side. And probably in confidence.

Have you thought that maybe your friend’s mum has spoken to your friend, and she has chosen not to speak to you about it? Have you thought that maybe your friend’s mum hasnt spoken to your friend, and specifically doesnt want her to know about it, for her own reasons?
Have you thought that maybe your mum told you, expecting you to show loyalty and not to go blabbing it around?

Do what you want, you asked, we have advised you not to, but if you do then you need to accept the consequences of your actions. Which is likely to be several things, such as your mother not trusting you anymore, your friend getting angry with you and your mum, the disagreement between your mum and the friend could escalate. Think about it.
