Not your friend?

I never thought I would be bothered as an adult by someone saying that they are not my friend anymore, but when it is my 3 year old son, it hurts. That seems to be Skyler's new thing (leaned from the boy I babysit) and I try not to show that it bothers me, but it does, more than the tantrums, more than the messes, more than skinned knees. I am realistic and know that I need to be his mom, not his best friend, but usually I am both, at least for now.

Livi is doing the SAME THING! Except she is saying "I don't like you"... man it's like they jabbed a knife into your heart! And I know she doesn't mean it, but wow.... it's a tough thing to hear! Oh man, growing up is a tough thing to stomach! So NOT excited for hormonal teenagers....

awww, that's so sad. Those are the hardest. It must be the boy version of what I get...."You're just like the step mother in Cinderella".
