[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My unpopular opinion is most of these girls aren’t actually “mean.” “Mean girl” is what they get called by the moms who are intimidated by and hate their moms and transfer it to the daughters.

Agree.  I always roll my eyes when I see these posts.  The “mean girls” are just girls that aren’t interested in OP’s daughter.  Nothing mean is actually happening.  Same with the moms.  Is another mom really being “mean” to you at school drop off? C’mon.  So dumb.  [/quote]

And there are always posts like yours to roll my eyes at. You just cannot believe there are girls who don’t want to be friends with the mean girls. They just want the mean girls to go away.

Then those kids should stop engaging. Your kid isn’t trying to negotiate peace in the Middle East. Your kid is in the mix as well. [/quote]

Those kids are not engaging. They are minding their own business when some mean girl and her friends sit down at lunch and start talking smack about her right in front of her as if she isn’t there.  Not my child, BTW, so I can be objective in this situation.  There are mean kids who seek out others just to be mean.  You really don’t get this, do you?

That’s not how the mean behavior has gone down in my kids ES. Maybe it’s different where you are. You don’t have to bash people for having a different lived experience. [/quote]

How does it go down? What sort of mean behavior (your words)? The acceptable kind?

[/quote]

Girls literally hanging onto other kids coats and begging to be included. My husband saw it on a field trip. Girls making up stories and running to the teachers in order to get the “cooler” kids in trouble.  [/quote]

Isn’t that just age appropriate behavior?  Can’t you just tell your child to ignore it?

[/quote]

To clarify, it’s okay for less popular kids to talk trash about popular kids and try to get them in trouble, but not vice versa? Not to mention the physical assault. A child literally tore my daughters sleeve. That’s the hill you want to die on?[/quote]

I don’t know. My husband cares about his children and wouldn’t stand by and watch his daughter being assaulted, so I can’t really relate.

I bet you’d be the first one calling the cops if my husband had to pry your kid off of mine. [/quote]

Again, my husband is pretty comfortable disciplining little girls without resorting to physical violence.

I really can’t relate to what it’s like to live with a guy who might have the cops called on him during a field trip.

That sounds rough.  I’m glad he didn’t get involved.

Great job on deliberately misinterpreting my post. Bet your husband loves that. [/quote]
