Like most parents, Joe envisioned raising a daughter who was fearless and independent. Instead, she finds herself with a child caught up in a friendship that seems to have more drama than an episode of Gossip Girl.
“Last year, my daughter had such strong friendships that she was told when she could eat lunch, who she could play with, where she could stand to wait for people. , my daughter is going to get into trouble for that, my friend,” Abhi said.
“She comes home and says, ‘Mom, we broke up.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?'” And she said, “Well, we’re not best friends anymore.” I would answer. So what about the next day? “We’re back together again.”
She added, “So I’ve been actively trying to encourage other friendships, and I’ve done that through playdates, because I don’t want to get in the way of strong friendships.”
A Reddit user shared a similar situation, describing her son’s friend as “super destructive and super violent.”
“They were here for three hours, and by the time they left, my son’s fire engine had been dismantled, hoses ripped off, the handle on the kitchen oven ripped off, and many other toys with parts missing.” they spoke.
“She’s also the one who goes through all your stuff. Excuse me, ma’am, but all the toys are downstairs. There’s no reason for you to be in my office going through my papers! If someone tells you not to go upstairs, please don’t talk back.
“And she’s very demanding as a guest. She’ll ask for something to drink, but she’ll tell you the options and say no to everything.
