DD1 is just three (summer baby) and has been going to the local nursery for three weeks now. Its morning sessions only and she seems to have settled beautifully. There is a group of older girls who are doing their second year in nursery but they will all be going up to Reception together. DD1 is very taken with these older ones - a couple of whom have older siblings themselves and are VERY sophisticated (for four year olds anyway!)
Today DD1 reports that her favourite older friends have been taunting her that she is "afraid of pink" and running away. (I don't buy her a lot of pink clothes as she is a vibrant redhead - but her stuff is still fairly girly and embellished.)
We have talked about it and she has decided its a silly thing to say as she has pink flowers on her shoes and she is going to tell them this if they tease her about it again.
Now its nothing major, its not bullying and DD1 seems more bewildered than distressed but AIBU to feel a little sad that she has to deal with girly bitichiness already?
