To think I dealt with this situation appropriately? Even though DH thinks I stuck my nose in.

Our 7 year old DD face-timed her friend (her 'best friend' as she calls her) and her friends 10 year old cousin was also in the room. The friend and the cousin were giggling at my daughter and when my daughter would say anything or tell a story they would say 'no one asked' and giggle etc. So I said okay DD time to say bye, you're going to bed and they just hung up on my DD. My DD wanted to phone back but I said no she wasn't phoning back as they had hung up and that was rude.

My DH thinks i was too involved and shouldn't be even listening to their conversations let alone get involved. This all happened on my phone and I always supervise but I'm now wondering if I should discontinue communication with her friends out with school other than play dates?

AIBU?

She is 7. It's fine to listen in to her conversations.

Sounds like her friend was showing off to her older cousin. Doesn't mean she is a terrible human, just a silly 7 year old child, so don't write her off completely.

I would model to your daughter about not putting up with rudeness from other people and talk to her calmly about what being a good friend looks like and what bullying can look like (that is is not all being hit or physical)- perhaps there is story book you can read together and then discuss the ideas in it?

No you did the right thing. Better to diffuse the situation in a no nonsense manner.

I don't think that what you said is right. You should have said they weren't being nice. Not that it was her bedtime, it's a bit embarrassing. But you were right to end the conversation.

She's 7. Of course you should be supervising. It would be neglectful to just leave her to it without any parental oversight.

She's 7 FFS. Seriously, I'd worry about leaving him to 'supervise' my children if that's what he thinks.

You did the right thing! Your child is 7 so of course you should keep an ear out

Yes you did, and you could consider with these situations explaining why you found it problematic and give her tools to deal with it in the future. You have to do that over and over again.

You did the right thing.

You should also explain to your DD that if someone is being unkind to her, she has your permission to tell them to stop and walk away.

Yanbu OP! At 7 years old her friend will most likely have been acting up to impress her older cousin. I wouldn't write her off as a friend if it was a one off but I would talk to you daughter about it and make sure it is just a once off and how she feels about this friend normally
