My step daughter needs my help

daisygal77's picture

My stepdaughter has been a part of a cadet program here in Canada and is very committed to it! Today while selling poppies one of the cadet support parents came to me and told me that she has heard that a few of the other cadet parents in the sponsoring committee is gossiping about my stepdaughter! Both my kid and this parent asked me to step in and deal with this situation by joining the committee and possibly confronting these parents. I of course am willing to do anything for any of my children and am now apart of the committee, however, I sure could use some advice or tips on how to handle these parent bullies tactfully so that the problem doesn't escalate for my kid!!!

It would help to have an idea of what the gossip is about. Is "Cadet" similar to the Girl Scout Program in the States?

i agree to find out what is being said. my exsd played victim all the time, come to find out she started 95% of the bullshit that was thrown back at her! so find out what is being said before jumping down someone's throat and lookin like an ass.

Do not do anything based on he said/she said garbage.

If you hear something yourself, act on it. Ignore the Jane said, that Sally saw, crap.
