Are you raising a mean little girl?
I am noticing that little girls are no longer sugar and spice and everything nice like they used to be. I tell my daughter that just because her female classmates hurt her feelings or are mean to her that she should never act the same way towards them. Be different and kill them with kindness. She's struggling with this though. I'm not saying that my child is perfect because I know that she is not, but some of the things she tells me about other girls in her class makes me wonder what their mothers are teaching them. I am just repeating the same things my mother told me as a child to her.

I'm not raising mean girls but I'm def not raising them to lay down and just take being bullied. They will be allowed and expecting to stand up for themselves

God I hope not. I sure try to make sure they are compassionate.

No, but I am also not raising a pushover.
I teach she has ways to protect her feelings from being hurt. Not to take it with a smile!
I raise my daughter to be kind, smart,but assertive.

I'm 44 years old and they were pretty mean WAY back then. I believe children in general are more disrespectful because they do not have proper consequences anymore.
My DD is kind to almost everyone and she easily lets things like that roll off her back, but if she sees someone being picked on she will intervene.
She has and IDGAF attitude but in a nice way. LOL

I have three girls and told they are sweet girls. Even though I teach them to be nice. Sadly I have heard them say hurtful things. Guess what, they got talked to and in trouble for it. It's part of life and no matter how much we try as parents. Our children(just like us) do things our parents would have never approved of or taught them not to do.

My kid is mean and sneaky...And I did not raise her to be like that...
Ugh I'm amazed almost every day from the things they pick up in school! I have a dd in K and one in 1st. Neither one of them had better ever have me hear about them acting like a mean snotty girl to anyone. There will be hell to pay.
