[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These girls ARE going to the beach, but they are doing it LATER than your daughter thinks they should.  Why can't she just go herself if she wants to go early, and understand that some people, when on vacation, like to have a later start and some lounging/veg-out time?  Why is she in a tailspin over the fact that her friends want to go to the beach later than she does?

And why are you so involved in this?  If you just told her to go to the beach earlier if she wants, since she knows her friends want to go later, this would not have escalated to this point.  Have you been chatting back and forth about it to the point that it is now such a big issue she wants to leave?

I wonder if this is the reason your daughter has had friendship issues.  Being rigid and getting upset because the rest of the group doesn't want to do things your way are not qualities that will benefit your daughter in the future.

This is it exactly. Your dd is probably coming off as incredibly antisocial. What is she doing when she goes back from the beach? Why can’t she do that in the am and then go with them? Or if she insists on going to the beach early, why can’t she stay there longer once they arrive?[/quote]
