Its going to be a long 2 weeks but I'm glad this happened now because its a friendship I don't want to foster. I now understand why this girl keeps losing friends. better I know now than when she talks Nik into doing something Nik gets into trouble for. Nik is pretty level headed but we just never know sometimes. Thanking God their not in the same class next yr. & her mother asked that Danielle be put w/Nik. I didn't ask that Nik be put w/anyone except a good teacher. Glad the GC didn't listen to D's mom.
dont take this the wrong way. There has to be a reason why this little girl acts this way.
maybe someone should ask her. Just to find out why she seems so mad.
Just a suggestion, Take her aside and politely ask. Hey I know you dont seem to happy. May I ask what is wrong? Maybe there is someone you can talk to about your problems. You seem so angry all the time. Then maybe tell her if she gets an attitude with you again tell her your not going to allow her to act like this around you or your family if she keeps it up.
oh well good luck and sorry about the little girl. take care.
Maybe I am missing something here but this Mom isn't paying for gas or snacks or hours you have to watch her brat and you are doing it willingly despite the poor attitude?
At the very least, you are perfectly within your rights to enforce some rules and limits with the things that you have bought, and within your own home.
I have told them both about the popsicles & the milk. Then after Dan left I spoke to Nik about it more.
I get to sit in the car w/Dan for about 45 minutes today while Nik is taking her flute lesson & I plan on having a talk w/her. I figure if this kid doesn't like what i have to say then her mom has all weekend to find someone else to take her back & forth & keep her from 2:30 till 5:30.
Good Morning....having lived through teen moodiness and nastiness and plain old snottiness!, I can just imagine the stress and tension you've "inherited". But disrespect is another issue altogether and that's what I"m getting from reading your post....that girl is incredibly disrespectful! Geeze, usually kids save that attitude for their parents, let alone their friends parents. I agree with some of the other responses you've received that just asking her what's up may be a good start. But if you meet a a brick wall and she gives you more nastiness and headaches, I'd call her mom, tell her the situation and also have her make other arrangements. I wouldn't give her the weekend to do it herself, she probably knows the kind of attitude her daughter has and is probably glad to have a "vacation" from it for a while.
Your not missing anything, her mom provides nothing while she's here. The kids need a lunch at camp & her mom was ignoring the no peanuts notice that went home. I found that out by accident when I found peanut butter crackers in dd's lunch box. She said Dani gave them to her & Nik figured it would be better if she just put them away in her lunch pack so they wouldn't get opened.
Last night I spoke to her mom about the no peanut rule. Her mom said it wasn't a big deal & the parents should do something else. I told her we're very lucky to have kids w/no food allergies & this kid has a right to be at camp just like everyone else & to be there safe. We have 1 more week to go after tomorrow & in a way I'm glad this happened because this girl was always calling Nik & wanting to come here or have Nik go there. After spending this much time w/her I know that I don't want Nik around her except for at school where I have no control. If this hadn't happened it would have takin me alot longer to see what she's like.
I feel bad for Nik but its a learning process. I told dh (he's up 1st) to not wake Nik in the morning. Dani gets here about 7:30 & they don't need to be at camp till 9:30, its not Nik's job to be up to entertain her, she can watch TV or read or just sit in the den, I don't really care.
Tonight when Nik & I take our walk we'll talk about it more if Nik wants to. I don't want to push her at this point.
I told dani's mom I'd do this so I'm following thru but I won't ever again.
Dani is stuck alone w/me in the car while Nik is in her Flute lesson this afternoon. I plan on having a talk w/her while we're alone. Will let you all know how it works out.
