Recently my 4 year old started Pre-K preschool and made a fast friendship with a little girl. They have been attached at the hip since their first day of school and until this week have had a great relationship. As girls are won't to do she found another boy to be friends with and has left my baby in the dust. He of course does not understand what happened and why and as the mama bear I am furious that my baby's feeling are hurt. How would you react in this situation? My first instinct was to bad mouth that little girl who hurt Cam, but then I realized the best reaction would be to tell him that there are more friends in this world. Of course I also added that making a friend that was a boy would be better too, because afterall boys are way less drama then girls.
Initially when this happened I posted it on Facebook because that's what I do. I tell my friends what happens in my day like so many and they help me through it with their funny comments. The best comments back were that that's what girls do. I laughed that so many agreed with me, but I have to say I'm equally upset that this is the beginning of a long journey of heartache for my boys. I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to be the best mother in law, because NO girl is going to be good enough.

I understand your pain! lol This happened to my youngest only the boy was the one that found a friend that wasn't a GIRL! Ewww (Cuz you know they have cooties, right?) It's heartbreaking but you did the right thing. Just let him know that there are other boys...and girls, that will be more than happy to be his friend and try to comfort him as best you can.
