So when I gave Goober's friend Bee the nickname of "Bee" for this blog I had no idea how prophetic that would be.
Bee is an only child. Not that I fault her for that, just that it leaves her prone to not liking younger siblings of friends much, and it also leaves her more prone to thinking the whole world revolves around her.
Man that girl can give some stings.
Recently Goober has started to come home upset more and more often. Bee has been saying mean things to him. Now, I understand kids do this sometimes, and sometimes I don't get the whole story (like what Goober may have done to induce such behavior), but saying things like "I hate you" and "I don't want to play with you, and neither does Ken" (Ken is another friend).
The other day Goober and Bee decided to go to Bee's house from our house. Goober wanted to ride his bike.
Jer was the one home at the moment, so he
okayed it and Goober proceeded to get on his coat etc... by the time he got outside Bee was sitting on his bike. Goober told her HE wanted to ride his bike and she just looked at him.
Jer then stepped in and told Bee that she did not ask and told her to get off of Goobers bike.
Weeeeelllll, this made Bee mad. So she then yelled at Goober "I don't want to play with you anymore!!!!" and ran home (because she was mad a
Jer). Goober was then upset because his "friend" didn't want to play with him anymore.
She tends to lie as well, saying things such as: "Ken can't play, he has a black eye", and when Ken, Goober, Missy My, and Bee are playing together they decided to go to Bee's house and she proceeds to lie and say that only one friend is allowed over. Then Ken promptly goes and Goober is upset cause they don't want to play with him.
I, as a mother, have NO CLUE how to deal with this. As far as I'm concerned Bee can go jump off a cliff for the way she sometimes treats my kids (which is becoming more often). I've been trying to comfort Goober when things like this happen, saying that good friends don't do things like that, and that we will find some good new friends in our new house.
But I'm not sure if I should bring this up with her mother or not. I know that eventually this kind of behavior is going to bite Bee back, and HARD. Maybe her mom can help her avoid that? Her mom is pretty down to earth and I don't think she would be offended if I pointed these things out to her..... but I don't know if I should step in or not....
Grrrr..... motherhood!!
So recently Gma S decided that she needed some "bigger kid" toys at her house. Most of the toys there were baby toys, except of course the swing set in the backyard :)
The faris wheel didn't have any people so I made some out of twist ties. The kids loved making it go!
