Girls constantly bickering
by michelle6810, Jun 15, 2008 04:19PM
PLEASE HELP!!!! I am the mother of a seven year old, Chelby, who is friends with two eight year olds Liza and Kerry, in the neighborhood.( Liza's Mom and I are good friends.) Chelby and Liza are peaceful, pleasant, and sweet when they play together, however, when Kerry comes into the picture it is drama city. All we here is, "She did this, she did that, she won't let me play, she doesn't like me, they are talking about me, and on and on and on! (Two will turn on one) Then after we all go to our homes and cool down, my daughter starts crying that she wants to play with the one who hurt her feelings to begin with! And vice versa with the other two. I seriously need some advice here! My daughter and I are very close and nothing will ever change that, but this is one area I feel I'm failing her. Please!!!! Someone give me some advice!!!!!

Hi there just thought I'd offer a few words for what its worth! Were Chelby and Liza friends before Kerry joined the club? It could simply be like a bit of a territorial thing(my friend first) Does Chelby have sisters? And the part about Chelby feeling sad after they have all gone home after the bickering sounds like Chelby is feeling sorry for having falling out with her friends? In relation to you feeling like you are failing her, dont be so hard on yourself! To me(mom of two boys!) it sounds like your daughter is finding her feet in the world by seeing what happens if we act in one way, kind of a cause and effect thing. These kind of behaviours are normal(especially in girls from what my friends who have daughters have told me!) In fact from what I have been told by my friends who have girls you are not doing too badly(I have heard MUCH worse!!!!!!) Hope this helps and good luck!
