"I don't like you." This is what this little brat said to my darling daughter, yes I know I am biased. On our way out later that night William told me the story. I am so upset and I am not getting over it. I wish I had been there to jerk a knot in her tail. But I am realizing, I do not really like kids, there are a couple other than my own that are special to me, but most kids annoy me and make me want to run and hide. This could be a problem.
I am upset because here I am taking this little girl out to lunch all the time, took care of her to help her mother, spent money on her and so much else. I asked William "what did you do?" he replied I told her to tell the little girl she is a bad friend and go away and Alexis with her head held high marched over and said exactly that the little girl apologized and that was it. Forgiveness is easy when you are young, why am I having a hard time forgiving.
It makes me sad that kids can be so mean. I remember being tall and skinny, being called names and I remember being pretty rough if you said something I did not like. But it changed me, it made me mad, angry, defensive and not very forgiving. Now I do not want these thing to change my daughter so maybe teaching her to stand up for herself, giving her permission to say that is mean and I do not like that is just what she needs.

Oh, Hon
I know it is tough. I do.
Think of all the things you say as an adult you do not mean.
Then think of all the friends you still have who have messed up.
I tried to teach My kids that You need to shrug it off...everyone says things they do not mean.
I said to try and always be the friend & person who does say what they mean. The kinds of things that nurture friendship. That they will not regret or rethink.
Who always refrains from speaking thoughts that are not fully formed-or that would be hurtful to people that are in their life. A friend is responsibel for their words and actions at all times. All that you say all that you do is what you show the world.
I hope this helps
At 8 I still stop myself from jerking a "not in kid's tails "when they hurt My youngest Boy's feelings. I am talking to myself when I Say BE RESPONSIBLE_BE PROUD OF ALL YOU SAY_ALL YOU DO
