[quote=Anonymous]It may be that your working full-time did lead to this situation but you don't really know that for sure. Also, kids face these challenges at different times in their lives. While you feel bad for her, you haven't "failed" her. This won't be the last time she has to figure out how to deal with not having anyone to hang out with. She's also almost in middle school and relationships with peer groups change a lot then. I understand feeling bad for her but be careful about making this your "failure." Kids need boundaries with their parents. It sucks for her but don't make it about you. Anyway, this is probably easy for me to say. My kid is now in her 20s and has a long-term perspective on the social struggles she had when she was younger. It's harder to watch when your kid is in the middle of it. Good luck, OP![/quote]
