Is this rational? A 4yo girl likes me... I "made her cry (only like 4 days)" and now the parents want me to..

Question

I told the girl that "I dont want to be friends".

Anyway, so is crying still (since 4 days ago).

And now the parents want me to go out to eat with them ( and the girl) and talk to her( the girl).

What are the parents even thinking?

What should I do?

Answer 1

sounds strange. Tell them you don't want to go but would be willing to apologize to make the girl feel better.  

Answer 2

Woah... that whole thing sounds kinda weird. Stay away.

Answer 3

Well, I guess a little girl is kind of annoying to an older kid like you, but you could get a free meal out of the deal and make the little girl happy at the same time. I know people tell you that lying is wrong, but lying and telling the little girl that you will be her friend when she is 5 is a good way to get off the hook for a few months, and make her her parents problem again. By the time she is actually 5 she will probably forget you said that. Being the parents of a 4 year old isn't easy, but these parents seem to be coddling this child too much, she needs to know that people aren't required to be her friends just because she likes them. If I were you I'd go to the dinner, and tell the litle girl that you are not little enough to be a very good friend to her, and that even if you like her, you don't like doing little kid things anymore, so she will have to wait until she is older to be the kind of friend you play with, but you will be the kind of friend you smile and wave at.

Answer 4

its not your fault that the parents are retarded, because you have every right to say no.

and even if you did go, it woul just make it worse for the little girl

Answer 5

she is 4 and you told her you don't want to be friends with her? I think you should just apologize to her maybe she will understand.

Answer 6

You were blunt and honest with the girl.

Now the parents want you to....be her friend.

They need to wake up and smell the reality. People won't always like you or be your friend. Welcome to life.

Unless you pushed her down or spit on her or something, I think you're ok.

Answer 7

How old are you telling a 4 y/o that you dont want to be friends? Just say sorry to her and avoid playing with her....jeez

Answer 8

how old are you?

and why does a 4 year old girl like you?

Answer 9

Just go and apologize to the girl. At four years old, words like i don't want to be friends hurt a lot, try to understand that. Just say you're sorry and move on.

Answer 10

Be a little more mature and don't be mean to kids that are younger than you!
