[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 123744, member: 84"] I know it hurts to watch your child going thru this with the other older kids. But honestly, they need to work it out for themselves. Your 12 yr old does need to learn to develop a tougher skin. (or by hs the kids will eat her alive) Have you asked your son how it makes him feel when his sister is treated badly by the girlfriend? I'd think it a bit unusual. Usually the girlfriend is all about impressing the boyfriend by "liking, or appearing to like" everyone in his family. I might have a little talk with son abut how sisters (no matter how annoying she might be now) are forever, and girlfriend's are only temporary. But then, if one of my kid's boyfriend's ever thought of treating one of their sibs like that well............. They wouldn't be around long enough to worry about it. Same for friends. It was always ok for my kids to pick on one another, quite a different sort of matter if someone else dared to. Tough spot for a Mom. But your 12 yr old also needs to learn not to let others treat her like that. They're not worth hanging around if they can't respect her. That last one was a very very hard one to get thru to Travis. I think it's finally sunk in. I think. Hugs [/QUOTE]
