AimeeM Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 ... that had the potential to go downhill. Apparently DD12 has been involved in some less than desirable back and forth on an internet forum with a mutual friend's friend. This girl's mom asked mutual friend's mom for my number. I was anticipating the worst... instead, the mom was very gracious, very understanding, more than willing to take responsibility for her dd's part in the back and forth (as I was for my dd's part). She was upbeat, positive, reminded me that she was sure we both remembered how difficult it can be to be a tween/young teen and that she was just sure our girls could find some common ground, considering they already shared a friend. It was just refreshing. No real point to this thread :) We've had some negative interaction with another girl's parents (or unwillingness to communicate at all when other girl's mom refused to acknowledge that her daughter had sent videos calling my daughter everything from ugly to a moron, taunting her, in over a dozen videos), so it was refreshing to speak with a parent who wants to fix the situation, with me, and help the girls actually get along, without throwing stones.

LucyStoner Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It's always nice when coversations we expect to be difficult are easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Isn't it refreshing to find another parent that "gets" it that kids will be kids and doesn't immediately get defensive about their precious darling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Mousie Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Well, that is indeed refreshing! If I know someone wants to talk with me about something, I can go kinda crazy with the What If scenarios ... it's so nice to hear that it turned out to be a sane, productive conversation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
