DD 8 tell me little girl across the street said to her...

[at the beach]

"You're not the right kind of friend for me." :crying: I have a feeling this neighbor child heard this from a parent. My dd received an award in Kindergarten for always being kind to others. So, she is not a bully or anything like that. She's just, as my posts on here probably indicate, got some differences but she plays pretty well and we're working on social skills, etc. I am also pretty sure the neighbors think we are odd homeschooling. I just get so mad sometimes at people's seeming intolerance. Oh, and FWIW, these kids across the street are not the best behaved. They have hit our dog with a stick, they jump in our flower beds, stare in our windows when in the yard, etc. But I try to be gracious and redirect them. I just would never imagine a child saying this without having heard it someplace.

 

Just felt the need to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening.

I'm not sure how this double posted. I tried to edit to correct a spelling mistake in the header. Can I delete this?:001_huh:

OH that is just terrible. :( Hug your dd and tell her people say mean things sometimes and she is just the right kind of friend that a good friend will appreciate.

Ouch. So sorry about your dd's experience. That's a pretty painful and bewildering comment.

 

Hugs.
