girls can be best friends but still be plotting the most ruthless and hurtful shit "just in case that changes." They'll try to emotionally scar the other girl for life. | ||||

| that's got to be the parenting that causes that. i have seen it in other females, that vindictiveness, but for the life of me, I don't understand it. I've never been a vindictive person, but I know plenty of females like that. maybe it's cause i'm a tomboy.. who knows. but that shit is fucked up.

Always remember you are the adult and she is the child. Get her to know early what no means even if you have to scare her a little because when they get older they don't scare maybe slap the back of her hand I know to some that sound bad but it works. Also I think the old saying that you can get a child to do whatever you want if you play with them. When I was raising mine I was a bigger child than my children. I would chase them, tickle them, play hide and seek, make silly faces. I was one big clown but they were the only ones that knew it so it was okay.

Even when their little they can understand this and they really need to know your the boss. Time outs can work but I do not know if it is any less painful, not physical but still painful for you and them than the slapping of the hand, and if screaming is involved I know it is worse.
