| the other day 8 year old daughter and i were talking ,she made a comment about how at the skating rink her dads girlfriend kid (13)paid her 10 dollars not to tell on her for kissing her boyfriend. so i remarked that ladies don't act like that. ladies don't go kissing boys, an especially in public.. well later that day she remarks that she wants to dress like the girl and i informed her that the girl "amy" wasn't the best role model for and she needs to be sure to think for her self. i also have caught this girl"amy" smoking. well these remarks got back to her mother and now things are not exactlyy rosey. however i feel as a mother that i should let my daughter know that certain thinks aren't accepable. i regert that the"amy"feelings are hurt and i know teenagers aren't easy but what should a mom do. |

| In situations like this one I feel it is always best to make choices int he best interest of our own children. I do understand how "Amy's" mother may be feeling regarding your comments, as long as you were not dragging the child through the mud so to speak all should be well. Parents are always the first line of defense for our children and we are the only ones responsible for how they are raised. |

| My boys have a step sister and she is spoiled and acts like a brat. Thankfully she is a year younger than my younger son, but when he comes home from a visit, I have noticed that he acts just like her! I do talk to my son about it, but I watch my wording carefully, because he will go back and tell her what I said. But in your case, this girl is older, and if she is not a good influence to your daughter, talk to her dad and tell him what she is saying to you. I have to wonder if the mother knows what her daughter is doing, and if she does, don't feel guilty for protecting your daughter! We work very hard to protect our children and try to help them make the best decisions, but it is not always easy, and I feel very sorry for the children out there whose parents react as though their child is just going thru a phase and will bounce back on their own. They want to know where there boundries are and if she doesn't help her get back on track, she may be looking at a worse situation in 2 to 3 years. |
