DD has gone for a play date at a friends and another of their friends is also there. When I dropped her off I greeted the girls and they both just looked at me and ignored me. They then began to tease my DD aboit the size of some toys that she bought which I could see unnerved my DD. I greeted the parents who were very pleasant and as I l was about to leave I said good bye told them all to have fun and again they just looked at me. Their parents did not say anything. If an adult (that she knows) addressed my DD in front of me and she ignored them I would tell her to respond it is just rude. When I have taken them all in the past for a meal the 2 of them have absolutely no table manners they shouted and misbehaved and disturbed the whole restaurant. Until we were practically asked to leave. I was furious and embarrassed. Then there is the materialism. Who has an ipad and who has this amount of toys etc it is so uncalled for 7 and 8 year olds. When my DD is with them she let's them dominate her to the extent she behaves like them even though she knows that her parents will not approve. She just seems to loose her mind. I try to encourage her to play woth others by inviting other girls to our home but she alsways seems to want to play with hese awlful girls again. What to do?

I think you have handled the situation well. Its only natural that kids get excited when they are around friends but aslong as she still listens when you are telling her that certain behavior isnt acceptable then hopefully their bad manners arnt going to rub off.

Worra.. I agree with you.....op's dd behaves bad so of course it's someone else's fault!!!

Lol!! Just wait til she's a teen op!

Well this is the thing ILT if the little girls behaviour is down to them being 'awful' and down to bad parenting...why is the OP's DD's behaviour down to 'influence'?

Why cant the 'awful' little girl's behaviour be down to the same thing?

It just smacks a bit of 'holier than thou' parenting and PFB.

I accept some kids can be a bad influence on impressionable children, but really this is a bit OTT for me.

Meh, some kids are annoying. If you don't like your DD spending time with them then don't invite them out or accept invites.

Not that hard actually.

She can see them at school if she likes but you don't have to facilitate the friendship if you don't want to.

There's a little boy at DS' daycare who does this. Whenever I see him and say "hi!" he just looks at me. RUDE.
