[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] to jump on the bandwagon, but OP, I do take issue with you implying that "only children" wouldn't know how to share/take turns by saying [quote]She has siblings so she does have to take turns and share, that's not the issue, she's easy about things like that. [/quote]  My only child has always had to take turns and share - probably more than yours because she is around adults a lot more and has to sit there and listen to adults talk and wait for an (according to her) excruciatingly long time. [/quote]

Op did not imply only children don't know how to take turns. You are really reading into this. (I have an only child).

To other posters, I think op is talking about leadership in light of the newest philosophy that [b]we must allow our daughters to be bossy, lest they lose the part of their personalities that would drive them to be CEOs[/b] in the future. Op seems to understand that meanness and bossiness will not win any friends. I don't see how op is condoning or excusing the behavior.[/quote]

Being bossy is being a bitch. You don't need to be bossy to be a leader. If the idea is to be a dictator, then keep encouraging young girls to be bossy.[/quote]

Wow.  [/quote]
