[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The word "hate" is not allowed in our household, and it is most certainly not permitted in reference to another person. It's really sad and unfortunate that you feel like you can say that about a child...particularly your best friend's kid. It sounds like she's a piece of work for sure but come one, OP. Clean up your language. Words are powerful.[/quote] You got a few little miserable brats running your household?[/quote] Sorry, I don't know what you're trying to say so ineffectually. I have two great boys who are kind, empathetic and polite. I'm not sure how making it clear that saying you "hate" someone is unacceptable equates to raising "miserable brats," if that's what you're trying to say. But if you regularly DO say you hate people then I could understand why you're lashing out so defensively. I hope you can work on that. OP, bringing up your friend's child's behavior is a potential field of landmines for sure, but if I were in your shoes, one thing I MIGHT consider, if the timing was right would be to make her aware of her daughter's "behind her back" behavior. Maybe offering her your observations just to make her aware and bookend it with an invitation to HER to tell YOU if she ever observes your girls doing things behind your back. Allows you to share the info while also building the "we're on the same team" mentality.[/quote]
