i know this is horrible to say about 6 year olds but i find that none of her friends have any respect. I've tried inviting this one girl over about 4 times now and it was a disaster and brought her home early. this week we were driving an hour away to take them to a big indoor play place and the whole talk out of this girl's mouth was nasty. swear words, dirty words and so on. she does it just to get a laugh and my daughter isn't even laughing. she tells her to not say those words or looks at me like what is she talking about. i can't stand this kind of talk around my daughter. i don't want them hanging out together anymore. i find this type of attitude so annoying. my daughter doesn't act like that and i don't want her to learn that stuff from her. what would you do, stop them from hanging out?

Yes, I would stop them from hanging out. There is a child that my daughter likes a great deal that is a bad influence on her, yes at the age of five, she is about to go out of town for a month and during this time me and one other neighbor on set to deprogram our daughters, the plan is to get the two for them together as much as possible so that we can get this other girl out of their heads. She is just a snotty little girl who has to have the best of everything and treats our daughters like second class citizens.

I know that it is sad, but we are their parents and we have to do what we think is best for our children and if that means we keep them away from others that we feel would be a bad influence on them then we do just that. We have to put our children first, and there is nothing wrong in preventing them from hanging out with kids who do things that we do not approve of. And this is the age that we need to do it, not when they are 15 or 16. This is too important of an age not to make certain that we know who is influencing them.

Yeah, do it sooner or ealse your daughter will learn bad words from her, she's BI to your daughter. I think your daughter's friend attitude were like that because of her parents. Does her parents never teach her good manners?
Oh i don't want to comment bad.
Cheers.

popp, you are certainly right in thinking about having your daughter stay away from her. also, since your daughter herself is not quite amused by her talk, i am sure she will abide by what you say. it would have been difficult if your daughter was fond of her friendship.
