OK, maybe I'm paranoid, but I really think one of my good friends doesn't like DD6. I've wondered about it on and off for at least a year no
Now, liking DD6 is not a requirement to be my friend. And I am fully aware that she is very sensitive, prone to bossiness, and annoying when whiny (which is far too often).

But sometimes this friend says things to me or DD that just don't sit quite right, though at the moment she says them they don't quite register. Like today DD6 was afraid of my friend's dog (and was playing the total drama queen, I admit, whining and hiding in a corner). They are kind of scary looking dogs -- bulldog looking terriers -- but quite docile. So I hear my friend (who is a very kind and gentle parent with her own kids) tell DD to "calm down" rather abruptly, then tells me the dog "probably just licked her and she freaked out." She says her dogs wouldn't hurt a flea. Well how the hell should my 6yo know that?

She's also made snide comments about DDs attraction to princesses -- very unPC to like girly things you know! -- even though DD has been well past her princess phase for over a year.

I don't know . . . I have PMS, my friend is in the 1st trimester of her 3rd (unplanned, not especially wanted) pregnancy and feeling crappy. But this is not the first time.

Do I just keep DD away from her and her kids (the kids seem to like each other, though her DD4 and my DD6 do get into loud spats at times)? Do I say something, like "I get the feeling you don't like my kid"?

I guess I'm mostly just venting, but it really bugs me. I feel like my friend is kind of passive aggressive about this, making those comments that get under your skin but that are supposedly a joke. Or maybe I'm being a Mama Bear, and should just let it pass.

Anyone know what I mean?
