I wanted to comment that it does happen to boys just the same. As a mom of all boys, i thought i wouldnt have to deal with those "you cant play with us" snotty girls but more times than i want to count have i had to give a talking to the little punks in my neighborhood for excluding certain kids for just as silly of reasons like not wearing the right shoes or having the "cool" bike. Boys can be just as bad.K.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12786998530994711844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047945885380439301.post-15812759780671869442010-03-01T17:25:40.698-05:002010-03-01T17:25:40.698-05:00I hope I can also raise my girl to be strong, yet ...I hope I can also raise my girl to be strong, yet harvest that inner bitch when she needs to, but being nice and inclusive all at the same time...<br /><br />^^I fully agree with redfraggle there^^<br />I also find this happening with mom's groups and the wives of some of my boyfriends guy friends. Why oh why can't we all grow out of it?!?! I too try and include the person who is not involved unless we just don't get along, then there's not much I can do :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211849011284694754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047945885380439301.post-37877514563838636452010-03-01T16:08:01.428-05:002010-03-01T16:08:01.428-05:00Amen, Sista!!!

And, my sweet, sweet girl is 7 years old and has BRIGHT red hair. She's already different...I PRAY that she will make it through middle school, and beyond and be sure of who she is and who loves her. Hang on, moms, it's a bumpy ride!!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15316012920981131339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047945885380439301.post-86719747285675381812010-03-01T16:06:37.397-05:002010-03-01T16:06:37.397-05:00I can totally relate to this and I thought it was ...I can totally relate to this and I thought it was over when I left college. And then my son began Preschool...and it is like high school all over again. When did the moms form these cliques? Why is it that I feel like the outsider when I go to pick up my kid at school? Please ladies...I am over it! <br /><br />JennUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843793591209649035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047945885380439301.post-66495101068739342122010-03-01T11:53:16.527-05:002010-03-01T11:53:16.527-05:00Having 2 boys and my youngest being a girl, I know...Having 2 boys and my youngest being a girl, I know all too well what you are talking about! I have heard things like you have and I've even yelled at my own daughter for saying things like that. I am so dreading the teen years with her. My oldest boy is actually bullied almost on a daily basis (he's almost 13), but I think it's partly because of his ADHD. Honestly, no matter the sex or age, kids just really suck these days.Amy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652489370010972022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047945885380439301.post-83846203271422718332010-03-01T11:31:31.629-05:002010-03-01T11:31:31.629-05:00oh what a great post!!!

I am the mother of 3 girls, (we also have a female cat and 2 female springers-you may pray for my husband!)<br /><br />Much to the credit of my mother (how often does that get said?) I am an includer. If I see someone all alone at a function or bieng talked about- I AM going to be that girls friend. Sometimes that has worked out well and sometimes I should has assessed the situation better! <br /> But needless to say we take the stance in our house that it is just as important to find out who NOT to be friends with as it is who to be friends with. <br />With 16, 13 and 9 year old girls we have had a tremendous amount of opportunities this year.<br />Great postbamamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440171115198065388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047945885380439301.post-15426110087845515782010-03-01T10:02:21.285-05:002010-03-01T10:02:21.285-05:00so true.

Not only that but I was permanently "out" of my group from Feb-June of my 5th grade year, all because the head mean girl felt threatened (I was a geek, there was no need, I was just a class clown which made her jealous). I hope I can also raise my girl to be strong, yet harvest that inner bitch when she needs to, but being nice and inclusive all at the same time...geez that sounds impossible.redfraggle37https://www.blogger.com/profile/04110587672174088416noreply@blogger.com
