[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn't there for that trash talk, but sometimes I see my kids (one boy, one girl) pile on each other just to score points/try to be funny/have something to say. I discourage it and sometimes they'll tell me, "That's just how we talk!" I truly see them not knowing what to talk about sometimes, so they'll just go in on each other. I'm not proud of it and not excusing it, but maybe that's an answer to the, "Why so much trash talk?"

They'll knock it off if I push them, but there's a certain amount of skepticism that it hurts peoples' feelings, and my kids are considered pretty nice. All of which is to say that maybe the boys aren't down on your son that much--they're just being jerks and feeding off each other, and maybe he could have fine relationships with them in smaller numbers if he wanted.

Kids can indeed be dumb and annoying. I'm sorry your son was feeling so sad, but I'm really glad you let him cry and get it out. Most of the time when mine are upset, they just want someone to affirm their feelings. [/quote]

My kids say this too. Literally the same sentiment. I think they just roast each other, not really intending harm, but obviously some kids do take it personally. If I were a kid, I’m sure I would be upset and take it personally too. But my kids insist this is how kids talk. They’re all so idiotic at times, but hopefully in a few years they’ll mature out of it. [/quote]
