I read my friend, Jamie's, Blog and was inspired to write a little incident from last night. Well, my kids went to a neighbors house last night, while I was at YW's and Quinn was teaching class. They have 2 girls (8 & 5) and a boy Ash's age. Kaipo LOVES to play with the girls and Ame is pretty good friends with these girls as well. But I was talking to their mom (when I picked them up) about girl troubles and all the ISSUES they have with friends. Ame comes home every other day (sometimes every) telling about how someone won't be friends with her or someone else, for something someone said or did. I DID NOT EXPECT girlfriend troubles to start in Kindergarten! I know us girls are sensitive but, my goodness!!! Anyway, last night Ame and the girls-Lily and Avery, had some issues, mostly when we were getting ready to leave AND IT WAS WAY PAST THEIR BEDTIMES. Not only do girls get their feelings hurt SO easily, but saying sorry is also such a difficult thing to do. As much as we talk about these kinds of things after they happen and how to deal with it better next time, WE are still learning over and over how to handle it better and BE a better friend!!

oh yea--do I remember the dramas even in Kindergarten with the girls. While the boys were kicking each other the girls were pouting cause "she won't be my friend". But I also remember the dramas with one Brittany in middle school with repeated issues. Oh the girl troubles.......
It is CONSTANT. Scares the crap out of me to do it three times in a row, to be honest. It is emotionally draining!! I, too, did not expect it to start in Kindergarten!!!
