My friends bratty daughter?

i have a friend who allways goes on about peoples weight,clothes and so on she buys most of her kids clothes from shops that stock all latest fashion(witch ive no problem with)but makes sure her kids know the clothes are latest fashion and more expensive than say asda.

but her daughter constantly says stuff to my daughter like i wouldnt be seen dead in your clothes and your hair is horrible.they are only ten and i think its sad that she thinks like that and my girl gets upset i have to tell her to ignore it but its been going on for ages now i want to smack the girls mother in her face and tell her to teach her daughter that clothes dont make a person

i know violence dont solve things but ive tried talking to her and she just has no control over her kids so they dont listen.they live two doors down so cant avoid them

In the future who is going to turn out the most level headed and pleasant adult, your daughter or hers?

I know it`s infuriating but stick with what you say to your daughter. My kids used to get upset at some of their peers who were spoiled and i just used to say to them that when they grew up ( my kids) they would be much nicer people. They are both level headed and thoughtful.

Kids don`t make things up themselves, i think these comments come from the Mother.

find a new friend

My friends bratty daughter?

how about teaching YOUR daughter not to listen to the other kids' comments about her clothes and stuff.

My friends bratty daughter?

I agree with you! Your daughter should tell that girl that she actually enjoys being a kid, how is that a crime?

My friends bratty daughter?

You could tell her that without smacking her. It may be better if you say that if her daughter keeps on insulting her and being mean, then you will have to stop them going round together. it may bring it home how her snobbery has rubbed off on the kid.

I think you should find some new friends. You should also tell your daughter that if the brat is annoying her, she also should find new friends.

violence doesn't solve anything? tell that to the marines! GIVE THEM BOTH A GOOD SLAP!

Wow, difficult. Especially since at that age the most important thing to them is fitting in and being accepted. The only thing you cab keep doing is what you are doing, reinforce what is important to yur child, you can turn it on its head and show your child how much the other brat is to be pittied, she may have everything but not true happiness. It sounds like you and your daughter have a close relationship and go well together. Your daughter will thank you one day and appreciate everything she has around her and what she has, I know the battle, I have a step daughter who gets and gets off her mother, she has so much it is hard to get on top of. It is also a shame as she doesn't really know what she has. It is a stupid generation that feels they must buy for their children rather than provide them with the loving care and attention they need. Good luck I feel for you.

As long as you are a good role model to your daughter and tell her whatever this girl is saying is down to her mother and its is wrong she will probably want to stop being her friend. I used to be friendly with my neighbour and she annoyed me in a big way (long story) so I told her some truths and now I ignore her and it's been bliss. I wouldn't let your daughter play with this girl as she will only contantly try to damage her self esteem. Steer clear. If she doesn't like it then tough. Be strong!

i cant imagine why you yourself would wanna hang around someone like that anyway - but i guess she has other redeeming qualities??

Since you dont want to give up your friend I would equip your daughter with some witty quips, i would tell her to respond to the bratty child by saying things like "Name brand clothes are only necessary for people with no personalilty" ... or when she criticises her hair she should say something like "your hair aint great love"!! I think your daughter should learn to deal with people like this.

My friends bratty daughter?

Just you mentioning you can;t avoid,means you want to.She

obviously doesn't mind her daughter upsetting yours and your

daughter comes first.Speak honestly to your daughter and ask

her if she really wants her has a friend.That your thinking of telling her mother clearly.Your not prepared to have her upset by her daughter and it would be better if they kept away from each other.It sounds like shes already like her mother at 10 in having her head up her a rse.2 doors or 2 miles your daughter and self come first.

Reverse psychology - instead of confronting the issue, try saying how sorry you feel for her daughter because the other kids don't want to mix with her. Sympathy will be the last thing she wants, but tell the mother to try to let her child blend in more with the other kids rather than stand out and become an outcast. Or, finally, tell her its a pity she doesn't live in a neighbour where her daughter and her can display their wealth better - who knows she may move.

You really do have a difficult problem on your hands. I completely agree that the behavior of both the mother and the child is abominable! By allowing her daughter to judge others by the labels on their clothing, that mother is setting her daughter up to be a shallow uncaring person. Your child is in a difficult spot as well. She has to go to school with the egotistical little clothes horse.

I suppose all you can do at this point is just to continue to encourage your daughter to make other friends who share your view point on the inadvisability of allowing children to judge their friends by the labels and price tags on their clothing. Perhaps it would be wise to have occasional talks with your own daughter, reinforcing the importance of appreciating the soul of a person rather than esteeming the outward "facade". I pray that God will bless you and your daughter with wisdom as you confront this difficult situation.
