[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 282825, member: 1722"] So I had a major problem with Duckie after school today... she wanted to play with "A". I wouldn't answer the phone when "A" called and Duckie became very upset. She even told me that she had overreacted and needed to toughen up. I held firm... and called in back-up. husband told her that they needed a serious break because "A" bullies her. The problem is that "A" has play dates every single day of the week... so Duckie often misses out playing with her kinder friends because their play time becomes monopolised by "A". So Duckie feels left out if she's not playing with "A". She was so sad that it broke my heart. :( How many play dates should an 8 year old have a week anyway? Duckie has one to five... depending on the number of activities she has in a given week. I try to have at least one or two down days... family only... so she can re-charge her batteries. All's well that ends well, though. One of her kinder friends came over after dinner and they are playing right now. Duckie even admitted that we were right... "A" is a "sometimes" friend only. Cross your fingers that they have different home base teachers next year. [/QUOTE]
