Bacon mentioned her birthday last night, and how at her last birthday we didn't have a party with games. Which led to a discussion about how she has no friends, but she'll make some in school next year.
That? Terrifies me. So far, I've found parenting to be very easy, even given my low frustration threshhold. But so far, it's just been Bacon in a closed environment, where we control what she's exposed to and are able to explain things to her properly. We are scared shtless about her going out into the world and encountering tutu girls and little racist kids and bullies and on and on.
Just felt like sharing. This is one parenting problem for which I have no answers, so you can expect a lot of panicky posting next year.
Re: IHO Tutus
trust that you have done a good job, that you've raised a good kid, and that she will be fine. worry less about bacon, worry more about yourself.
also? she does come back home at the end of the day, right?
Here's the thing: Bacon will come home and ask you about things she'll experience at school and you'll be able to counter the things kids may have told her.
Because you properly explain things to her, she'll look to you to talk about the weird stuff she hears at school. Your answers satisfy her.
