I have a DCG almost 5. I have posted about her before because she is a handful. It is obvious that there is no discipline at home. I do what I can here to survive the day. She will be going to K in the fall, so I'm just holding my breath until then.
Anyway, at pick up, we were playing outside. I asked her to run into the house to grab something. She was excited to see DCM so I sent another 4 yr old in to grab the item. When she sees that someone else grabbed what I originally asked her to get, she freaks out and starts tattling. I tell her, it's OK, you were busy with mom, so I sent other girl in. DCM says "it's OK, you can get it tomorrow" I've noticed she does this a lot. Instead of dealing with the situation, she bribes her. So she STOMPS to the vehicle. Mom says "oh she is so sassy" and acts like it's cute. THEN DCG stops at the vehicle SCREAMS at the other DCG "you are not my best friend, and you are never coming to my house again". I start to say her name and decide moms standing right there, I'll let her handle it. Nope! She just looks at me and says "Oh, (daughter's name)" in a light, no big deal, voice.
How would you have handled this?
While I'm glad she's moving on in a few months, I still have little sis who is picking up a lot of the same behaviors.
Anytime I tell her parents about any little incident, they just say "yeah, she's getting sassy" or "I know, she shouldn't do that" but they obviously don't address it at home.
