Do you ever look a t your 8 year old daughter and feel pity for the boys of the world?

Question

because when she's old enough to date, these poor little boys won't have a chance! LOL Ciana said to me last night, "So Mom, Tyler likes my keychain ( keychains are THE thing in her elementary just now) and everyday he asks me if I bought him his keychain yet. And Mom? I just don't see why *I* should have to be spending MY money that I have to earn on HIM! I just don't see it! HE should be spending his money on ME!" This girl was HOT about it! I had to just sit on the couch and LAUGH! Poor little kid. She was planning on going to school today to tell him EXACTLY what she thought about the situation. It wasn't gonna be pretty, she said. LOL

Answer 1

Sounds to me like "benandjerryluvr" is doing a fine job of raising an independent...free thinking....little girl!!!

Way to go mom your doing an exceptional job....this is the way it ought to be!  The natural instincts of man is to chase a woman not the other way around. Why they may only be eight this young boy is already being sent mixed messages by young girls trying for his affections.

Great-Grandma was right when she said:

"Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free!"

Answer 2

how annoying. sassy kids like that generally get on my nerves.

Answer 3

That is too funny!!!Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all...  I think it is awsome that she is expressing how she feels about someone asking her for something of hers. Shows her personality!!~ I don't understand where people are coming up with "you need to teach her compassion" or "I wouldn't teach her that boys owe her something" etc... GOOD LORD PEOPLE SHE IS 8! Kids come up with these things they come up with on their own. This is how she feels and it is awsome that she can express that!!!

It's like when my nephew was 6 and he would take superman or spiderman lucnables to school another kid would always nag him to trade lunches... he cam home and said in a very serious tone "I don't know why his Mommy can't send him to school with a superman lunch"!! And he was going to go to school and tell him that the next time he asked for his lunch. Remember people theses are children!!

Good Luck with your little one!!

Answer 4

haha!  Yeah, I know what you mean!

I think the same thing with my 9 year old.  It makes me proud actually, that I've taught her to be ballsy and not put up with c**p!

I do pity the poor boys who will think they can play her later in life though - they're in for a nasty shock! hahahaha

You sound like you've got a strong daughter - be proud!!

Answer 5

yes your kid owes that boy absolutely nothing. What has he done for her besides give her grief and nag her over getting a dumb key-chain.

Answer 6

Ha ha - well she certainly seems to know what she wants from life!

Mind you I only had boys so they were on the other end of the situation!

Answer 7

i would tell my daughter that she don't owe the boy anything and he doesn't owe her anything, if he's being so whiny and obnoxious about the key chain, there ARE other fish in the sea, and if he wants it so bad, he should get some money and go to the dollar store, its that easy, if as girl can do it, why can't a rich kid like him do it too?!

Answer 8

Sounds like your girl has great self confidence and I think that's fantastic!!!!

Answer 9

haha lmao shes pretty screwed up haha

Answer 10

That is just too funny!!!!

gw

Answer 11

thats good she should not feel like she Owes that lil boy a gift!!

Answer 12

I see nothing wrong in the way your daughter chose to handle the situation.  My 9 year old would have probably done the same thing.  I am proud that my daughter has her own mind, and knows how to use it.  We are a loving christian family that do teach our children values, but obviously this little girl was getting annoyed by the boy asking for HIS keychain.  Why did he think that she owed it to him.  Very common boy/girl stuff for 2nd/3rd grade.  She is a very confident girl.  Great job!

Answer 13

I would be embarrassed if my daughter acted like that!

Answer 14

I don't think I would be encouraging my daughter to think boys owe her something.  I think I would have told her to tell him if he wants a keychain so bad, he should buy it himself.
