I had the experience of going on a shopping outing w/ my daughter, her friend and the friend's mother. I must say I am not someone who thinks my child does no wrong. Matter of fact, prior to this day, I was sure I had the naughtiest 6 year old on the planet! My daughter's friend would pick up shirts to look at, then drop them on the ground. When I told my daughter it would be nice if she would pick it up (because the mother was not acknowledging it nor was she picking it up) the little girl told my daugher "don't pick it up!" As well as some other rude things about her clothes being ugly %26amp; about how she should cut all of her hair off. At one point she bought a Hannah Montana hair clip %26amp; when we left the store my daughter was upset because she didn't get one (see, my child is not perfect either!). I told my daughter she already has that hair on her head %26amp; the friend turned to me %26amp; said, "it's not pretty like this hair!"
I just want to hear other people's stories of naughty friends

I am a single mom of three great kids. While I feel I am a great mom I have so much trouble controlling my kids and often watch other parents in my kids classes with awe. On the other hand when I look closer I see that their children are doing the same things if not worse things then my own children its just that these "stress free" moms aren't paying attention they are too busy socializing with other parents. So I sit here and think is it better that I watch every move my kids make or let it roll off my back and not stress like the carefree moms do? Then I think nope in the time it took them to do their hair just so and figure out which outfit they are wearing and with whom they are going to interact with that day I was playing on the floor with my kids having the time of my life.

oh yes, i have lots of them. I live in a neighborhood with five 8 year olds!
My great niece and my daughter are the same age. We had an easy set pool with a small turtle pool to wash your feet off in. They decided to wash their hands n feet in the small pool. Well the soap ended up in the large pool too. When i told her mom she made it out that her child does no wrong and it's my fault for not watching them better. Although I had been out there with the girls til she pulled up to take her child home.
The girls in the neighborhood have started "Clubs". My daughter came home crying Bailey won't let me in her club. So i went down to investigate. Seems that Mandy said she didn't want Bailey in her club first. So I told Mandy she can't have a club unless everyone is included and Mandy agreed. So I asked Bailey, so can Mandy be in your club. She was like NO, My mom says it's my choice who is in my club!
The girls were playing today despite the fact.
One of her little friends loves to make up stories. She was saying "there is a flying saucer in the sky" had the others going for like 20 minutes until the others figured it out . They start singing Liar liar pants on fire. Then she started crying.

My son has 3 friends in particular who just grate on my nerves to no end. I am good friends with the parents so it's difficult to pull away completely (though I have done a pretty good job of limiting their time significantly...)
2 of the kids are siblings - one girl age 6 and one boy age 3 and a half. Both of these kids make more noise together than 10 kids combined. Every time they come to my house, the immediately jump on the large ottoman in my living room, screaming like they've never seen a couch before. They break things (especially the older girl - "just because she felt like it") so I've had to hide certain toys when they come over. They both hit, bite and use toilet words (poopy head, butt face, etc.). The younger boy in particular thinks its hilarious to randomly beat up on my 5 year old son. The last time they played together (2 months ago) he sat behind my son and kicked him in the back for no reason.
The other kid is 5 and also has a problem controlling his hands. He hurls toys at anyone who annoys him, adults included and curses. There are worse things (like the time he threatened to drown another kid) but I could be here all night writing about them. My son is nowhere near perfect but he doesn't hit anyone, respects others' homes and toys and knows he needs to respect girls which is why the girl always beats up on him too. We've made an exception to allow him to hit her back when she hurts him. It's so sad that this is what we have to do.

I don't carry tales about other people's children, and you shouldn't either

Honestly she does not sound like a friend at all. I would encourage your daughter to stay away from her. It sounds like she is being taught the wrong type of behavior and eventually your child will mimic it. And it sounds like the girls just likes being mean. I tell my girls a true friend does not treat you that way. It is hard to do but simply quit doing things and having play dates, if they ask why be honest and say she is mean to your daughter.

No need to hear stories of naughty friends. It's not cute. Ban your daughter from her friend. It's up to you if you want your daughter to have that kind of influence in her life. As they say, "Birds of the same feather flock together."
