I have 4 girls of my own (ages 13, 11, 6, and 4) and have 3 daycare girls ages 10,9, and 7...
One will buddy up with another and shut another out and nit pick them all day long so that they come to me over and over with an issue (she did this or said that, she's being mean, she won't play with me, ect.). One day they are arguing, the next best of friends. Why do they do this!!??
It has been a LONG summer so far and they have only been off school for about 3 1/2 weeks. My 9 and 7 year old daycare girls are here 11 hours a day and I know they all wear on each others nerves, kind of like sisters...they get too much of each other. Separate, they are all good kids but together, not so much. They get snotty and I get overwhelmed with all the issues they bring to me. It's really rediculous and I don't know what to do...I thought about taking privaleges away but then I get two sides to the story and don't know who to punish!
Today the 9 year old daycare girl was in her swimsuit outside with the rest of the kids and she peed in her swimsuit! Just stood there and said I have to pee and started peeing! Then my 13 year old and 10 year old neice said something about it out loud and told her to go to the bathroom and daycare girl said "nah, I'm done"....OMG...I was like WHAT!!?? 9 year old girl comes in and starts pouting like she does so frequently and tells me her side of the story which of coarse was in her favor...said that she couldn't hold it, blah blah....but my daughter and neice tells me she just stood there and did it and said she was done. I just learned a couple days ago the 9 year old daycare girl's sister (age 7) squated outside by my playset and peed right in her suit and covered it up with my gravel stone and said nobody will know! OMG, she went swimming in my parents pool with that swimsuit! I told their mom this afternoon and she felt it was laziness with the 9 year old..the way it sounded was that she has had this happen at home on occasion.
These girls are generally good kids, I mean they have their moments as many kids do, that was just one small portion of my day. My daughter and neice dropped the subject but daycare girl kept pouting and saying they were being mean to her when they were not. She tends to make mountains out of molehills. That stresses me out because she most likely tells her mother the side of the story that makes her look like she did no wrong, when she provokes some of it.
I just don't know why girls have to be so catty at each other...if one wants to be left alone the other gets snotty at that person. This is going to be a LOOOONG summer!
