Dearest PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY KNOW MY DAUGHTER,
You are being taken for a ride. This "cute" little girl who seems so adorable and sweet and loving is merely working her manipulative charm on you. She doesn't love you, she doesn't think you are the smartest person in the world, she doesn't even like you. She is using you and you are letting her get away with it.
Stop and look around you. Do other completely unrelated children crawl into your lap at the mall? Do other children come up to you and start talking to you about your ice cream cone? Do other kids enjoy "hanging out" with you? No, they don't. She is pretending to be good and adorable and sweet so you will give her whatever it is she is after.
Don't let her be naughtier than you would let other kids be. Don't let her tell you what to do. Don't let her get out of activities that you don't let other kids get out of doing. Don't fall for that cuteness and give her stuff you wouldn't give to other children.
She is 6 and you are how old? Take back your power!
Signed,
A Mother to a RAD daughter
