    Well said Susan, and kids are influenced as much by other kids as their parents, sometimes more so. You can give them the best upbringing possible then they fall in with a bad crowd, it's whether or not they come out the other side!

    I think so. She's tried to split some of the girls up too. It must be hard for her as they've all been in the same class since they were at nursery, so it will be hard to join in existing long term friendships. Moved schools myself during primary years, so I know what it's like! Still no excuse for what she has done though.

    I don't think it's an excuse either, it's appalling behaviour. I moved in primary too and was quite lonely (it wasn't till sixth form that my social life recovered :o) but I didn't want to split up groups of friends and pick off the good ones for myself.

    OH and Molly are both passed out asleep in bed. So cute :A

    What's she like with house rules, shoes off, eating at the table, drinks on coasters and stuff. I'm spoilt with mine :A. I don't like kids running indoors either, but toys everywhere are cool. As is loads of arty stuff but in the kitchen. And they tidy, not me. I'm a dragon! :eek:

    zoes knows her rules .. which are shoes off in the house, no running (always scared me the thought of falling down the stairs) .. clean what mess you make .. always say please and thank you and wash your own plate (the last ones new but she likes washing) basics really x

    Alice would love a rule like that - if she's ever standing at the kitchen sink (because that's where the window is) and there's water in the bowl she'll start "washing up" anything she can lay her hands on. Have to watch her though because she'll take the clean stuff off the draining board to "wash".
