[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see the "blame the victim" crowd has entered the chat  :roll: .[/quote]

She’s not a victim. and it’s fine to have a narrative in your head that your Larla is an angel beset by *ssholes, but other people won’t believe it. Especially once it’s clear that it’s a pattern repeated with different kids, and somehow Larla is always the injured party and the other child is an *sshole. [/quote]

And now the projecting and making up a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't in the OP crowd has entered the chat as well.  Fun![/quote]

I read the OP. None of what she describes rises to the level of calling a child an “*shol.” It could equally be OP’s child is an over sensitive whiner. Most kids don’t come home every day saying “Larla bragged about winning!” It’s not normal to be fixated like that, and also not normal for a parent to have an equal fixation and encourage it in their own child. It’s weird. [/quote]

Lady, it was one conversation, and her friend started it?  Who's fixated?  What is OP encouraging?[/quote]

I bet you $100 that this is not the first time OP has vented to this friend about how everyone is out to get her or her kid. That’s likely why the friend lost patience and pushed back. If I was the friend I’d probably do a slow fade or just have an urgent phone call to attend to whenever OP got on a roll. The fact that this friend is willing to call OP out is actually and opportunity for OP to think about her conduct. Instead OP will now weave a narrative about how her friend is also an *sshole who is not open minded enough 😂 [/quote]
