[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 44686, member: 1550"] Thank you so much, Marguarite. Your post made me feel so much better. She's really (the mom) a very nice person, but it's true that I tried to work it out with her, without using derogatory language about her daughter (I said "some kids can be stinkers; I know Nicole can at times, and my first son--I used to hear from others all the time, blah, blah, blah). This is true. My first son used to instigate trouble, but we got him into therapy and sat on him. He is now a very nice, kind, caring adult, but we stepped in fast and early. I didn't want this to affect my friendship with this lady. Basically she said that if I think negative things about P. that we can't be friends. Trust me, at this point in time, it isn't breaking my heart. I'm just glad Nicole isn't home every afternoon in tears. My ex-friend told me Nicole has to get a thicker skin, and she's right, in a way, but she's also only ten years old. She IS kind of tough. She's a black kid in an almost all white school district and has learned to take care of herself. My ex-friend was basically telling me that it's Nicole's fault that it hurt her feelings when P. was mean to her. She even said "P. has a dry sense of humor and Nicole takes it too seriously." That could be partly true, but I still don't want any more of this. Nicole has a lot of friends; she doesn't need P. bossing her around. I feel we made a solid decision, and all of you helped me feel better as hub is just too angry to be objective. (((Hugs again)))) I needed this support. [/QUOTE]
