Friendship Ended Because Of Kid

you were not wrong at all

 

There is nothing wrong in doing what you did. You made a decision to limit your relationship with your neighbor because her words has affected your daughter. You have your priorities right.

 

In my point of view there s nthg wrong in wat u have done...there s no need to feel guilty abt it as everyone priority is der family....Even if u continue d relationship it may affect your DD one r d other day....ppl should understand what should be spoken in front of children ....Stay happy

 

You did right, dont worry.
she is not your best friend for many years, just a neighbour . you can make lot of friends.
your kid and self confidence is priority.

 

What has you both fighting got to do in this?

She openly put down your dd by asking her don not to imitate your dd.

Its more about feeling put down for your dd than about fighting in front of her.

Hoping that iam understanding is right.

 

yes.all parents fight with each other.but putting down kid is totally wrong

 

Hi Subha, protecting your kid is the priority.

What if the neighbors kid imitates your dd, and others take it as making fun of her or bullying? Any mother would stand against bullying.

My dd , a 6 old loves to copy everyone, she imitates to talk like a 4 year old ,and I ask her 'are you copying '.

Don't make your dd to feel this as a big problem. Tell her that's okay. Give her the confidence.

 

OP, you have every right to protect your kid.

But many kids do this way. It is not for hurting anyone. They find it interesting and do it. I am not supporting it anyway.Many kids imitate grown ups, teachers, anyone they find interesting including celebrities. Simply saying it can happen in future too.

Your daughter may or may not face these kind of situations again. So you need to give her confidence and teach her to neglect it instead making it a big event. Just tell her silly people do this way, not good one. So just neglect/ignore them. She is smart and she can do it. Teach her to be less sensitive to these kind of unnecessary disturbances and face life with confidence.

Running away from the problem is not a solution. Face it and gain confidence.

"my neighbour mentioned in a talk, that her son imitating like daughter and she scolded him not to talk like that.."

Your neighbor thought his son did a mistake and tried to correct her son. She admitted it to you. Isn't that Ok for you. May be that is why she is not able understand why you are neglecting her even though she tried to correct her sons behavior.

Unfortunately you dd heard it and she felt bad. Your friend didn't try to intentionally hurt dd. You should have told your neighbor that your dd felt bad, so let us not talk about this topic in future. You also dont like this topic as it make you sad ..(some thing like that)

I am not sure you like it or not , but I feel that you should not make it as a reason to cut friendship with her if you think she is good in other aspects. Anyone can mistakes.

Anyway it is up to you.
