Boy Crush Coming Between 10Yr Olds Friendship
20 Answers
Hi, would you expect a 10yr old to understand loyalty to friends when one has a crush on a boy? My daughters best friend has a crush on a boy at school and he likes her too. Problem is my daughter has recently decided she also has a crush on him and she told her friend and her friend is getting jealous of her speaking to this boy. I told my daughter that maybe she should be loyal to her friend and leave them to it but she doesn't understand the problem and said its her friends own fault if she is jealous!! Do you think 10yr olds are too young to be thinking of being loyal to friends when it comes to boys?

Why is that so unlikely Jan? If Boona and her Mum both had their kids in their early/mid 30s, that would be about right. Boona, sometimes you just have to let the kids figure it out for themselves.

I once went mental when a kid was being super horrible to boy #1 - ended up telling the Dad to keep his wife on a lead at pick up time. It wasn’t pretty (although the crappy behaviour did stop). I haven’t interfered since (if it’s been something serious I just handed it over to the school and let my child know I had their back).
Hello again, sorry to go on about this, does anyone have any good advise I can give my daughter. I have told her that she has to leave her friend and the boy to it and try not get involved but the problem is that they all have phones so both the friend and boy message and chat with my daughter when the other one is not available and then drop her when they get together again which my daughter finds upsetting.
I agree Andy, I am so annoyed with myself to let the other mum go on about it, she asked if she could call and I wanted to say let's just let the kids sort it out but I let her call instead. I did say they are just kids and I also think for her to say that she is dissapointed on my daughters loyalty is over the top but this is looking bad on my daughter but I really want her to keep out of it
