“My sister was aware of the issues with Ruby and the fact there were some long-standing bad feelings there,” she said.
“She was not deterred by this, and instead, she tried to pretend they were all new to each other and attempted to get Zoe and Cole to include Ruby in their play.”
Her sister wanted Zoe and Cole to turn their duo into a trio with Ruby, but Zoe told her mom that would never happen. Anytime Zoe said anything like that, her sister would punish her. Cole and Zoe have repeatedly expressed discomfort with being forced to play with Ruby, but her sister won’t listen.
Recently, her sister asked her to get more involved in getting all the kids to play and spend time with each other. Her sister said that Ruby needs to spend time with her new family members because she has no other extended family.
Her sister also mentioned Ruby is having a “rough time” in school. However, when she asked her sister to elaborate, she wouldn’t.
“I asked if her husband was getting calls about how Ruby treats other kids,” she recalled. “She didn’t deny it. I told her she can’t erase what Zoe and Cole think of Ruby, and she needs to accept that.”
Her sister thinks the kids are so young and have room to grow, so they should suddenly start fresh and become friends now. Although she agrees they have time to grow, she doesn’t think Zoe and Cole should be forced into liking someone who’s been mean to them.
Is she being too hard on Ruby, or should her sister stop trying to force a friendship between the kids?
