Update: I can't stand my friends daughter!

Hey ladies, So I thought I would update those of you that responded to my post last week about really disliking my friends daughter. Here it is if you really want to read it,  https://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/48055103.aspx

 Well.....saturday night we had our group of friends come over for taco night. I told all the kids, including Blaize at the begining of the night that if they got any toys out to play with then they had to help clean up at the end of the evening. Blaize brought a doll and said she wasn't going to play with any toys, just her dolly. I said that would be okay, but if she decided to play with toys I expected her to help clean at the end of the night.  Guess what?!?!? It WORKED! When I said it was time to clean up, Blaize went right to Gunners room and started singing the "clean up" song and picking up the toys along with the other kids!!!! It felt good and showed my friend that she can and will do what you ask her. (I told my friends after I talked to the kids earlier in the evening, what I had said so they would be on the same page as myself)

 Us women also had a vent time, where we talked about our kids and husbands. I used this as an oppritunity to talk about disciplining our children and being on the same page as our husbands. I really hope my friend took some of it to heart. It was nice to give some advice without calling anyone out. I got some nice tips too! :)

    Glad it all worked out! It would suck to lose a friendship over this.

    Surprisingly, children respond well when you have clearly laid out expectations for them and you follow through/are consistent :) Blaize will probably enjoy visiting you and know you care because of your expectations regarding her behavior.
