More problems

Thank you all for your responses to my sibling problem. I want my husband to
read the responses and then I will answer them tonight. However, I have
another problem that I would like to address.

DD3 is not very good with social activities and/or friends, I really don't
know how to handle this. I think she gets overwhelmed, but I don't really
know for sure. She doesn't have many friends, but the ones she does have she
ends up treating them horribly. Take for instance this morning, they are
home from school because of the snow. A friend asks her to go to her house,
DD3 does, but they end up back here at our house, which is fine. They are
watching a movie and DD3 gets a call from another friend wanting her to come
over. I say no because she has one friend over. She then gets mad and then
gets mean to the first friend
saying to me that she wants her to go home. She is very disrespectful to me,
so I send friend home because of DD3 behavior. However, I grounded her from
friends the rest of the day because she cannot choose to do another activity
when she is already doing one. She then starts screaming at me, telling me
that I am a mean mom and so on. This I ignore obviously because she is
trying to get her way. Sleepovers are horrible because DD3 ends up leaving
her friend alone and DD3 goes off to be by herself and plays on the
computer. I end up getting upset because she treats friends bad. I pretty
much have stopped all sleepovers for DD3, because she cannot handle it. I am
tired of all of this and I know it probably all ties together with DD3
problems, but I don't know how to fix it.
