Rawr!
Life: not so srs fcking bznz gaiz (so Lune, you and I can't post about it, sorry.)
I don't know where to even start. I have to collect my thoughts so I'll probably end up editing this after I post it.
So I have this friend who has a little girl almost a year older then mine. I hang out with them a lot, especially when my husband and her husband are gone for their job. She's nice and everything but she's the "no non-sense" type. She doesn't take shit from anyone and speaks her mind when she sees fit. That's all fine and stuff, I'm like that to a point too. She's very passive aggressive.
She was a strict mother until her kid hit about 18 months then for some reason, conscious or unconscious, she changed. She still thinks she is strict but she's not as much as she used to be. Her kid's a brat, simply put, and I think it's because of that. Her mother was very strict then she changed so the kid is testing her new found freedom. Unfortunately my kid became the guinea pig. They play together a lot, or well attempt to anyways. This child is still learning how to share so I give her some leeway for that but seriously she's just a brat to my kid. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way considering it is my kid involved but I suppose that's why I'm posting here, for opinions. (preferably from those who have kids, no offense to anyone who doesn't. Babysitting isn't quite the same.)
I don't know I guess its just things her mom does.
Like the other day: They were both playing with this push toy and my kid used it to stand up then let go. The other child started wailing because mine just touched it. She goes "ow mommy, Anna mean" and her mom, who wasn't even watching, responds with "Yeah honey I know, Anna hurt you". And I'm sitting there like "Wtf! You weren't even watching!" I started to say something about it but each time I tired she just cut me off. Oh and her kid pushes mine off the toy and -I- have to yell at her kid because she's not paying attention! We're close enough where I can yell at her kid if she does something and she doesn't get into a huff about it. But really, that's not my job to tell her child how to behave with mine.
There are more, though I guess they pretty much all deal with her kid pushing mine down because she wants a toy or her kid taking toys from mine and then running away when I tell her to give it back. Her mother just sits there even when Im sitting next to her saying "No, stop that! Be sweet to Anna!" So I know her mom can hear me she just doesn't do anything about it.
There are other things that don't really have to deal with how her kid treats mine but with how her mother raises her child but I don't know if I should be critiquing that, lol, since it's just stuff I don't agree with more then bad parenting.
The answer is probably to drop her as a friend but we're close and it'd be hard. Plus she is pretty much the only wife I get along with here.
This is incomplete so I probably will edit it.
