[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 247958, member: 3419"] BBK, sigh. I cannot tell you how many times I have second-guessed myself in regard to what I should have done, had I only known. Point is, I didn't know. Don't worry so much over your parenting skills. Really. If you were that bad, you wouldn't be here with-us. I have faith that most of us are here because we truly care about our kids and we want help, advice, and a soft shoulder to cry on. None of us is here because we are perfect. I agree with-Star, that the Barbie issue seems perpetuated or even initiated by this friend. Lots of kids have tortured Barbies since the day Mattel came out with-them. Next time you go to a garage sale, check out the little pin marks in Barbie's b**bs. Then go online to the comedy and humor pages and do a search for Barbies or something. (You'll have to be careful the way you type it ... "Barbies" and "dolls" both call up all sorts of porn in and of themselves!) But what I'm trying to say is that it is fairly common for kids to do that sort of thing. It's just that you have the possibility of some exposure with-her bio dad and ... who, his girlfriend? Leaving the door open or something? (I'm sorry, I'm trying to figure out the allusion in your note), which may have added to your difficult child's interest. At this point, I wouldn't pursue it too much, because you could keep putting the idea back into her head, if you Know what I mean?, and creating a vicious circle. What concerns me is your daughter's age ... but kids these days are doing everything way younger. So maybe the Barbie thing is age appropriate. Still, I would try to keep her engaged in more useful activities--Girl Scouts (or whatever she can handle), working in the yard, art projects, etc., and keep her away from that friend. My difficult child has some friends like that. And I have no doubt that other parents say that about my difficult child. :( [/QUOTE]
