difficult child is being overbearing. easy child has a couple friends over and she just can't leave them alone or stop dominating any conversation. Geesh... we try to be tactful... like we called upstairs (where she had gone in to her sisters room) and reminded her about the laundry in the dryer to finish up with. On her way downstairs she loudly says... "I know, Jessica, just shup up and leave your sister and her friends alone." Talking to herself.. out loud... in the third person.
Her little sis has had a horrible weekend... and a couple friends are over to be supportive. But J (difficult child) can't stay out of their way! But, if she has friends over, little sis had better disappear. I usually tell the girls that they should stay away from the others room IF they have friends over... but, if they are watching a movie or playing Wii in the family room, then the sibling should be included.
As for easy child, her "BFF" of the past year has stabbed her in the back and even put things on the internet and facebook that I would consider Cyber Bullying. They (x-Bff and her "new" bff) were trying to instigate a fight with easy child and calling her the B**** and S**t words. Texting easy child's friend who was spending the night here to "just kill yourself". Geesh. I hate girls and social media. On top of all of that, about 5 weeks ago easy child had her boyfriend breakup with her and the bff get upset with her on the same day... and she took about 12 extra strength tylenol pm and we had to take her to the hospital er. Afterword, we had meetings with the crisis care and her regular therapist and we all decided that she would keep this information secret and not share outside the family. Well, a week later, her bff and her worked things out and easy child told her about the incident. Well, now that they are on the outs, xbff is telling everyone about it. I am not sure what to do. I did see her fb page and copied and pasted 8 pages of viciousness that she was posting. Then the next morning she deleted it all, but I have a copy on my computer. Then another kid posted something and I copied that... would you believe it would be over 50 pages if I did print it? Mainly because a couple other kids kind of took over the post and made fun of the girls posting the trash talk.
easy child has been my easy child... but last week, she admitted that she felt left out that difficult child got all the attention, even it it was just negative attention. So it was really a cry to notice her. I feel so bad. And now all of this. We are talking to her and trying to be supportive without jumping in and getting involved. I would love to print this stuff out and show it to this girls mom. Just not sure what to do. If things heat up on Tuesday... I will show the principal these messages. This xbff used terrible language but easy child and her friend did not... so for that I am proud of her.
Well, one more full day before school starts up. Glad difficult child will be at school, but I worry about easy child... KSM
