[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think it is in their nature to be mean? Tv? Parents? Someone else was mean to them first?

I have an elementary child who dealt with mean girls teasing and just being mean to my child all year. My child is generally well liked but these girls are just mean, not just to my child but to one another and other kids in class.

I also have a preschool child. My friend’s daughter purposely excludes my younger child and I witnessed her taunting and laughing at my child after making my child cry.

It is one thing for kids in school. This girl is my very good friend’s daughter. It makes me wonder what kind of person my friend is. She is a great friend to me but her daughter is a little mean brat. I’m probably going to avoid family gatherings for a while. Don’t want to necessarily end our friendship but it really makes me question my friend. [b]My friend thinks her daughter is an angel[/b]. Not sure if she is in denial or truly doesn’t know.[/quote]

I couldn't be friends with anyone who thinks their kid is an angel.  [/quote]

This brings to mind this new "mom friend" I met at an activity.  She was very chatty, bubbly, and friendly.  I hear about her DD and in these stories her DD is always nice and sweet and helping out her friends.  Then I meet the DD when the activity is over and the DD is.....not sweet.  She yells at her mom for not having her snack ready, snatches it and stomps off.  I was like WTF?  And not just a one time thing -- each time I'm at this activity, I see the DD rolling her eyes, yelling at her mom and being mean to kids all the time.  Like a real-life Veruca Salt.  Her mom just stands there and beams.  I'm thinking "do you have eyes?"  In sum, some parents have real blinders when it comes to their kids.  [/quote]
