difficult child has girlfriend she lives next door and is 13 she has a sister thats 12 in the 7th grade. Now a new girl has moved in down the street that is 14. The 12 year old sister is my daughters friend - sometimes.
Here leis the problem, my daughter is 12 but she is in 6th grade - only due to her birthday being in October. She is not as mature as the other girls and is constantly getting her feelings hurt by them. The other 12 year old likes her but also likes to hang out with the older ones. difficult child's girlfriend takes verbal stabs at my daughter that hurts her feelings and she comes in the house crying. This doesn't happen every time they are all together but frequently. Too frequently for me. I have talked to difficult child's girlfriends mother about how she is towards my daughter and she said she would talk to her about it. The mom and dad also have problems with her being mouthy. They don't allow it and slam her with restriction when she does it to them, but that doesn't seem to slow her down any.
Anyway - what can I do about my daughter? It makes me angry at the other kids when she comes in the house in tears. I hug her and try to comfort her and tell her about the age differences etc....
There are no other girls in our neighborhood that I will allow my daughter to hang out with.
What do I do??
