So a question about how all of you handle it if and when your child is too nosy, up in your business so to speak.I feel like I sometimes cannot breathe without explaining why I am breathing. My daughter is six, and I try to be understanding and know this is a WHY and HOW phase of life, but it gets very exasperating when it’s like the 20th interjection by 7:30am and I just want to move through my day with a tiny bit of autonomy.Examples “why are you putting your scarf on the babies head” “What do you mean the tire needs replacing, why are you talking about that” “No I don’t want X on the list, don’t write it” “Why did you laugh what’s funny” “What did you say to daddy, why did you say that” “Why did you tell the the baby that”And on and on.That is just a small handful of the questioning I had this morning all within the span of half an hour. You literally cannot laugh, smile, cough, breathe, take out a jar of jelly, eat a scrap of toast, cannot do a damn thing without a comment from the peanut gallery. It makes me fill with frustration to where I want to scream GET AWAY FROM ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE (I don’t).I love my daughter. I want to spend time with her, I DO spend time with her, lots. This isn’t an ignored child. She gets devoted time every single day without fail. She just feels entitled to be in the inner circle of every single action you take and it is so beyond oppressive. I want to be able to discuss an adult matter without her interjecting, like my husbands tires, or what we need from the store. And I want to be able to say something nonsensical to the baby without explaining the vailidity of why I’m commenting on her stinky feet.Please help me find some peace in the household. I don’t want to tell her to take a hike, but I really want to tell her to take a hike, if that makes sense. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2EFGV1B
