Dad Told Bratty Daughter That Her Rude Behavior Is The Reason She Has No Friends

Relationships June, 18, 2025

It takes more than a pinch of smartness for a parent to deal with the issues of the kids. The parental souls have to toil hard to keep the life of their little nuggets intact with their interventions and show them the sagacious way. However, things go down a rough path sometimes, pushing them to take a hard stance. A Reddit user took to the social media platform to share his parental worries.

The father of a 12-year-old girl was fraught with his daughter’s unpleasant behavior. The girl would behave rudely with her counterparts, making them walk away from her. Not just that, she would try to foist her hegemony over them. Her failures would make her go mad with rage. To draw the attention of her parents, she would pretend to be a victim of the struggle.

Her erratic behavior left her with only two friends who were siblings. Their families were close to each other. Her father would get in touch with the other side to apologize and help in rebuilding their friendship. Thus, their friendship issues would see a silent burial. However, the trend did not prevail for long. Things slipped down one day, digging a deep gorge between the two families. The girl crossed her limits by calling them names and got into a scuffle with them.

She came running in tears to her parents and denied any wrongdoing. She, as usual, blamed the other party. Aware of her tactics, the father reached out the other side and grabbed the real story. He apologized for her behavior. But that time there was no response from them. The kids and their family distanced them from the girl.

AITA for essentially telling my kid that she is the sole reason why she has no friends? from AmItheAsshole

Seeing her attitude hitting the bottom, he got ahead to speak the truth in her face. He brought out the reality before in a harsh way, blaming her for having no friends. The girl could not withstand it and stormed into her room. The mother also found his words rude and disturbing for the girl.

Introspecting his move, he shared the matter through his reddit post. Taking on the ‘blowout fight’, he said, “And my daughter once again was hurling insults at said children, calling them names and saying stuff about their family. The children told my daughter that they will not be her friend anymore”.

Adding to that, he said, “I asked the dad and he told me what my daughter had said to his kids. I apologized and I haven’t heard from them since”.

Unraveling his move, he said, “so I informed her that the reason she has no friends is because she cannot control her irrational behavior when someone does something she doesn’t like. That she needs to think before she gets mad and starts hurling insults at people she should care about”.

His post received a mixed response. People found it right at that time but not in the long run.

Hopefully, they would have settled the grave matter at the right note.
