I just had an incident with a girl that was "supposedly" a friend to my daughter. The girl was always calling my daughter telling her about the things that her grandmother, grandfather, and aunts were doing for her. You know taking her shopping, buying her new cellphones and etc. Well they talked like this all the time and I told my daughter she is not being a friend, she is trying to make you jealous because we can not afford those things. A true friend would not always throw these types of things in your face when they know you can't afford them, but of course my daughter was standing by her friend. So, I told her this is going to fizzle itself out because she is not a real friend. Then that day can...I was able to buy my daughter the cellphone she had been wanting, incidentally the friend wanted the same cellphone and got mad at my daughter as soon as she found out she had it. Now they are no longer friends. Like I said it would fizzle itself out...and it did, because true friends would never act that way. Now thats my rant for the day!!!LOL...LOL...

oh wow!
sometimes kids would not listen and then they will have to find out for themselves. but they get hurt in the process of learning.
anyway, i am glad that she got out of that friendship, that she realized, who her real allies are. good for her.
oh i hope that brat of a friend will find her match. :)
good day!

Wow, that's what I would refer to a "superficial friendship". All that other girl ever wanted was to make your daughter envious of all the things she had. There are some adults who are like that too. I do know of some! They like telling you about what they have, what they are, and what they're getting. Then when you suddenly have something that they can't have, they become so spiteful! Sometimes you just won't be able to understand why! Then you figure out later on that they themselves are the envious type and they're really actually miserable. That's the exactly the reason why they just want to make their "friends" feel that way! As they say, misery loves company!

Oh, I dislike people like that! They just like to brag and "show-off" and make you feel like you are "lower" than they are. I'm glad that your daughter found out what type of friend she really had though. Such small lessons have a big impact on the way a person thinks sometimes, which can be very good for future relationships.
I'm very happy you were able to get your daughter the phone she wanted. That's great:).
