Kid's friend advice

Subject: Kid's friend advice Sun Jul 28, 2013 6:52 pm

My older daughter is eight (almost 9) and she goes up to her grandparents' (my MIL and her fiance's) house a lot and has a good friend up there who lives next door to them.

The problem is that this girl has another friend who doesn't like my daughter's friend playing with this girl. Last week when I was up there with my parents, my daughter was playing with her friend when the other girl- who lives across the street from my MIL came over, yelled for the other girl and then 20 minutes after they were in the back yard playing in the pool that girl made my daughter's friend leave with her and she does the same thing to my daughter whenever she's up. She's even told my daughter that she can't play with her friend.

Ordinarily, I'd try and talk to her mom, but I'm not up there when this happens and my MIL says that that girl's mom is hard to talk to.

Anyone else been in this situation? Because this little girl is being a bully to my daughter and I'm not happy with it.

Ha, this sounds exactly like my old neighbourhood Razz

I used to live on this street that had a lot of kids around my age at the time and there was this one girl out of the 10 of them that just hated me for no apparent reason. When I would come out to play with them she would go home, or she wouldn't invite me to play with her and my friends. She even made up a rumour about me at some stage. I never actually found out why she didn't like me, but I think it would be more satisfactory if you and your daughter knew the reason why this girl won't play with her. It may be for some stupid reason, it would be helpful if your MIL could try to sort it out between your daughter and this girl. That way your MIL wouldn't have to talk to the girl's mother.

I'm not sure what else you could do apart from go to your MIL's place yourself and sort it out haha, but good luck with and hope you can sort out this situation Smile

Thanks, I'll be up there Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. If this happens while I'm up there, I will speak to that girl and to her mom. That's just rude what she does. Especially since last year she was invited to my daughter's birthday party.

when kids at a young age already start to bully, the parents should definitely do something about it
because if they dont, their kid will turn into a real snob......
so i hope the parents do something about it

if not, i suggest you talk to the little girl yourself, if possible
and tell her the truth.... not in a mean way but in a friendly way
try to make her understand she is being mean and so on

I'm going to try that. If I had known what happened on Thursday (I was really tired and my parents were visiting) I would have nipped it in the bud then.
