[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 372437, member: 4040"] I was a single mom from the time Miss KT was 3 until she was almost 9. Miss KT had difficulty (still does) working and playing well with others, and I got the stinkeye from the parents because of her behavior/attitude. I also got calls from school on a regular basis. She does a great job of ticking people off, and since she rarely catches a clue about how she is perceived by others, she just goes along, continuing to tick people off, and then she wonders why people don't like her. She wears people out, and changes friends every six months or so. Your daughter may be well-mannered when you are with her, but completely different without you around. If she doesn't pick up social cues, she won't understand how to behave just from watching others. I can't even count the number of times I could cheerfully have murdered Miss KT when I'd grasp her arm, trying to convey that she needed to SHUT UP RIGHT NOW, and she'd scream, "Don't pinch me!" Also, just because there have been no complaints to you doesn't mean there haven't been any, there just won't be repeat invitations. Does your daughter think there's a problem? With a new school year starting soon, I'd suggest being aware of what might be going on, but not hovering over her. [/QUOTE]
