Bullying

I am a stepmother. I am not a bio mother yet maybe one day. But i will say this my stepdaughter came over and saw a little girl she went to school with and said everyone is mean to that girl and i hesitantly asked why, she says because she doesn’t brush her hair and she smells kinda funny. And I said well are you nice to her. She said I am not mean to her I just don’t really interact with her. And my response to her was. She may not have a mom and dad and extra mom that love and care of her like you have. She might now get taken care of as well as you do. I said you should become her friend and stand beside her when she’s getting bullied because you might be all she has that’s fighting for her. You should care about her and her feelings sweetie. And she says you are right (she’s 11) I will be her friend but my mommy said her moms a skank. What’s a skank. And I swear I wanted to bawl. I get it she’s “not my kid” but I said your mother is very wrong for doing that she needs to be kind to everyone I was just so in disbelief like why teach your kid hate and to be mean. If my kids ever bully ever I will make them apologize in front of everyone write them a note. And if my kid is getting bullied I would personally go to the kids house and talk with the parents and ask the kid why are you doing this do you need a friend do you need support and love? Idk maybe I am crazy but it literally brings me to tears to hear any kids being bullied.

*** Not making her be friends with the girl, suggested she should become friends with her ***
