[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you find a more descriptive word that using snotty over and over? It sounds judgey and other than the one kid making an odd comment about their pizza (maybe this kid is neurodivergent), what else happened?[/quote]

OP here. I stand by snotty. In addition to the pizza exchange I mentioned earlier, two of the girls found me in the kitchen when the group was having a dance party in our rec room and asked if they could watch TV. I said no, but if they were done with the dance party they were welcome to hang out in the living room until we started the movie in 15 minutes. They just rolled their eyes and went back to the dance party, no other words to me. These two girls also asked repeatedly if we could put on some Netflix show after the movie was over, even though I said no every single time. Again I just can't imagine my kid doing this to another parent -- if I heard about it later, I'd be totally mortified.

And again, just the way some of these girls talk to the other girls. That actually bothered me most of all because it was such a crappy dynamic. Rolling their eyes when the other girls were excited about a song that was playing or really enjoying the movie, like it was lame to be enjoying themselves. Also (and this feels like it's on the parents): bragging about trips they'd taken and Christmas and Hanukah gifts they'd received in a competitive way that I feel must be learned.

Actually the more I think about it, the more I think I'm just done with these particular girls and don't want them around my kid. I'm just really disappointed. It's a bummer to be seeing this behavior at this age, IMO.[/quote]
