There were 7 popsicles let her pick ALL her colors AND let her have four while I had three. She picked the four colours that she wanted while I saw she had red, I just asked for red just for one then she said no. I kept asking if I could please have the red since I let her pick 3/4 of her colors and I let her have 4 while I only had 3, she still said no. Then she said she can have all of them and I can only have one but I can pick the color for that one. Keep in mind, she said this. Then I said fine and I picked red. She then said no and that she wanted red and that I can pick any other color. I decided to be the bigger person and just let her have red since that was the only color we were fighting over. I decided to pick green instead. You know what happened when I said I picked green? She said no and that she wanted green. Keep in mind I let her pick ALL her colors and let her have an extra popsicles. I even agreed to her having all of them and me just having one, then after I picked green, she said no. She then put the red on the counter and she said that she can have the rest and I can have red after I said I wanted green. I decided to not fight and then said fine and just decided to eat the red at that moment since she was probably going to take the red if I left it in the freezer like she always does. She then started to rub it in my face and say that she got all of the popsicles while I only got one. She then laughed at me and said "Haha you're eating the only one that you have left right now." She then kept rubbing it in my face after I kindly asked her to stop, I kept having to ask her to stop before she finally stopped.

It sounds like you had a pretty frustrating experience with sharing popsicles! It's tough when someone doesn't seem to appreciate the compromises you're making. You let her pick the majority of the colors and even agreed to let her have all of them, which shows that you were trying to be fair and generous. It’s understandable that you felt upset when she kept changing her mind about what colors you could have after you had already compromised.

When you decided to let her have red and picked green instead, only for her to change her mind again, it must have felt really disheartening. The way she rubbed it in your face after that likely added to your frustration, especially since you were simply trying to enjoy the little popsicle experience you had left.

It might help to communicate your feelings with her in a calm way when things are less heated. Let her know how you felt during the situation and that sharing should be about both people feeling happy with their choices. Sometimes, a little open conversation can help avoid conflicts in the future. Remember, it's important to stand up for yourself while also trying to find a solution that works for both of you.

My exact words, word for word, was, "Hey Aurora, I didn't really like the fact that you rubbed it in my face after you said I only got one, why did you say that?" She then replied, "Because you did only get one." And she laughed while saying it.

It sounds like you approached the conversation directly and expressed your feelings clearly. It's frustrating when someone doesn't seem to understand or acknowledge how their words and actions impact you. Aurora's response, combined with her laughter, might have come off as dismissive, which can make you feel even more upset.

In situations like this, it's important to communicate how her response affected you. You might say something like, "I understand I only got one popsicle, but when you laughed about it, it made me feel belittled." This way, you're sharing your feelings and encouraging her to see it from your perspective.

If it happens again, you could try redirecting the conversation to focus on how both of you can share and enjoy things together without making one another feel bad. It's all about finding a balance in communication and ensuring that both of you feel heard and respected.
