NBR: So irritated!
My 6 year old son plays with a little girl down the street who just turned 8. She is the most annoying and rude child I have ever met in my life! She constantly barges in our house without knocking, talks back to adults in our home, she hits my son, takes his toys, and bosses him around. My son is such a sweet kid, he puts up with it just because he wants to be her friend and have someone to play with.I have told her numerous times that we have certain rules in our house that she needs to follow when she is here, but it gets nowhere. Recently she came over telling my son there is no Santa, which really made me mad. Then today she barged in our house saying the tooth fairy isn't real either and laughing about she found her teeth in her moms dresser. I understand completly that some parents are ok with thier children knowing about those things, I just wish they would teach their children to not run around telling other children about it. In our house Santa is a special thing and I really don't want it ruined for my child at such a young age. Kids already have to grow up so soon these days, I would like to keep those magical things around a little longer! So what do you guys think I should do about this girl? (with everything, not just the santa/tooth fairy stuff)

Re: NBR: So irritated!
Honestly, I think you should start locking your doors. Then when she presumably rings the doorbell or knocks (or kicks the sh!t out of your door perhaps?) you open it a crack and tell her now is not a good time and she can come back at "insert time convenient for YOU here." Then when they do play, if she hits your son or disrespects you or your property, you take her hand and lead her to your front door and tell her it's time for her to leave since she's not following your rules.
Just be consistent and don't let it get to the point where she makes you want to kill her. And if all that fails and she still drives you insane, you speak to her parents and/or end the friendship. I understand wanting your son to have a playmate, but you don't want to teach him that it's okay to be treated like crap, or equally bad, to treat others that way. Odds are good he may start mimicking her behavior one day. And maybe enroll him in an activity where he can broaden his circle of kids to interact with. I can't stand bratty kids... I hope to god I never have one like that.
lol, yep this is pretty much what I am dealing with. She is the queen of all bratty children! Our door is actually already broken from her and my son slamming it all the time.
Thank you for your advice. It really does help!
