Girls are bitches.

There, I said it!

And I meant it!

I’ve always heard raising boys is easier.  I swear after the stories I hear, I totally believe it!

Boys probably use 3 words to a girls 10 and their emotional level is a bit more calm which makes friendships a little ….well, different.

Not to say that boys don’t have their issues, or that they can’t be more extreme than girls at times….. I mean all three of my brothers have fake or fixed front teeth from the stupid antics they pulled.  But that is a little different from what goes on with girls.

I have two girls.  And both are very sweet.  But I hear what happens at school and I swear it’s things I was only hoping I would read in books.

But alas it is not true.

If I could dissect what happens is that girls gang up.  Just yesterday one of my daughters had an issue with one of her ‘friends’ and in a matter of seconds of said incident, the other girl went and recruited someone who would help ridicule my daughter.  And then tried to recruit even more!

Now, I’m not saying my daughter was without fault in whatever situation happened, but as the story unfolded it was looking like 3 against 1 to my daughter who ended up crying in the bathroom trying to basically hide.

As these girls get older  I’m saddened to see their tactics.  This happened to be a childhood friend who she has known since kindergarten.

What a bummer.

It happens everywhere.  As much as I would like to say the dance studio is immune; it has girls, so fat chance!

I hear stories that happen there about girls ganging up and being rude or singling out one girl.  It’s really disconcerting.

I’d like to counsel my kids if they’d talk to me, but as luck would have it, they apparently don’t want to share.  So all I can do is draw on the wisdom of other situations and talk to them about it.

They have books on this subject.  I have them….somewhere.  I was hoping denial would take over and I would be immune to the information.  But it looks like I need to pull them out so I can see what I’m up against!!

At this time, I can pretty much counsel my child to avoid this kid.  I can see a group forming at school which will be a bit of a nightmare when they transfer to middle school next year.  My hope is my daughter will find new, nice friends with less drama.

It just bums me out that we have to deal this.   It would be nice to live in a bubble and not have to worry about any of it.  But I now feel that I have precious little time to do research and prepare.

I don’t like what I’m hearing lately.  And I hear it only gets worse as they get older.  Communication is the only weapon I have in  my artillery and since I’m not totally sure what I’m up against, this could be interesting

If you have any advice, please, do tell.  But something tells me this will all be an uphill battle.

Happy Friday
