ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Going on vacation with my best friend was a disaster!

 

Check these out, too...

  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it
My family invited my best friend to go with us on vacation. I thought, “Wow, this is going to be so much fun!” Wrong! My mom is very organized so, whenever you’re done with a dish, you have to clean it. Well, my friend never washed any dishes, so I had to do hers. Don’t event get me started on our room. She left wet towels and snack wrappers all over the place! And who made her bed every day? I did. If I were to be someone’s guest for a week, I’d pick up after myself.

 

Dear Clean and Confused,

Next time, whether it’s day one of vacation or camp or college, say something right away. Not: “You’re a slob—pick up after yourself!” Just: “Hey, let’s both try to keep things neat.” You could have said, “My mom is a neat freak, so do you mind hanging that towel up? Thanks.” Your speaking up would have been good for both of you—for her, because she needs to learn to be a more considerate guest and, for you, because it’s not fun to resent a friend.

I had been hanging out with the same three girls since second grade(now going into 8th) and this past year 2 other girls decided they wanted to join our little group and we said of course but those other two girls(the new ones who just joined) started causing problems and drama, they would tell lies about me and talk about me behind my back, By the end of the year they had that entire group convinced that I was mean. One day when I got to school they told me I wasn't good enough to be friends with them anymore. I have been ignoring them and I went and found new friends, did I make the right decision or should I forgive them?

 

Hey girlie! I answered this question a few times, so check it out on one of the other posts you put it on! xoxo

Hey girl! Talk to your older friends alone and tell them your concerns.  If they don't support you, I say you were totally right to find new friends! You can forgive them and be friendly without being friends with them. xoxo
