[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 294622, member: 1722"] SRL- I'm really concerned this is happening to Duckie. A doesn't make friends quite as easily as Duckie does... both she pushes Duckie out as soon as she's friends with Duckie's new friend. Truthfully, I think you're right. My bff is a good person and friend but she doesn't really deal with her kids. A has shown signs of being behind academically behind since pre-k and bff always says stuff like "this summer is going to be different" or "I'm going to work with A almost every night". But she never does. I've even offered to help during mock study sessions with both our girls. My favorite is bedtimes... she blames A's meltdowns on her being exhausted but I'll call there at 10:30 on a school night and the kids are still up. I've tried to delicately point out that some of A's issues could very well resolve within a few weeks if she just gave the child a routine and structure. And she agrees with me, but nothing changes. :( Klmno- It was wonderful to pick up Duckie and see her happy with her friends yesterday. They all looked happy and exhausted, but in a good way. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
