That Karlie.......

[JJJ]

I honestly think that was a kid remark. Everyone judges no matter what age you are. That is something we can't prevent. What we can prevent is hurting others.

I think Gayle said the right thing as always

Don't get too mad Diana, even our Presidents lie. No one is perfect.

Diana.....I so totally agree with Gayle, maybe it is time to get her some professional help. Someone who specializes in children. Now is the time, I really wouldn't wait too long. She's can be such a sweetheart too, but she needs to be taught how to control the bad behaviour.

Believe me I've tried. We have a wonderful man at the school that is a couselor and I've tried and tried to get Dae Lynn to take her to him. She's even talked to him about talking to Karlie. I mentioned it again when all of this happened but she ignores me. I agree that it needs to be taken care of now instead of later. It could be because of all that is going on with her family or something else but whatever he could help her with it. I'm so fustrated at Dae Lynn for not taking her to him. There's only so much that I can do.......

[Janet]

Not sure how it is at the schools there, but here....I would go independent. Seems like schools are always wanting to label the kids. I didn't want that for Ricky so I took him to a specialist and had him tested and evaluated. That way the school has no control whatsoever. They can put them in special classes and I thought that would be detrimental to Ricky. You could even speak with her pediatrician and ask for his advice and/or referrals.

Diana, another thing to remember is that sometimes the mother thinks it's their fault and are ashamed to show a professional their kids. Thinking their the ones to blame.

You are right Sandy, it could be a totally normal kid thing, but then again, there seems to be a pattern.

I've laughed over this comment all weekend long, Sandy!! No hurt feelings over what you said!!

It does sound like a "normal" kid!!!

I feel so sorry for Karlie because she's in trouble A LOT. Personally, I think that Dae Lynn needs to ease up on her. I try to remind her that she IS a five year old......almost 6! I think that Dae Lynn needs to spend some time with other families that have children the same age and see what they are dealing with!! We went out to eat a couple of weeks ago with a family and realized that Karlie and Dean are just regular kids!! I think that applies.....except for the lying and manipulation that Karlie does.
