His wife tried to calm down their daughter and encouraged her to keep working on her friendship. However, he thought giving her some honest perspective would be best.
“I told her basically that she’s never going to be on the same level as her friend’s childhood friends,” he recalled.
“They’ve been friends since childhood, they’ve gone through school and all those trials together, and they know each other inside out. I told my daughter that she has to accept this when maintaining her friendship with this girl.”
He also encouraged his daughter to be a little less emotionally invested in her friendship with this girl.
His daughter was devastated by his advice and told him he was putting her down.
“We got into an argument, I told her to grow up, and she left,” he said.
“I do feel how she’s acting is incredibly childish. However, I do feel empathetic for her as the last few years have been difficult for her socially.”
Should he apologize to his daughter for what he said, or did she need to hear his advice?
