Daughter, 5, not upset our dog died.

Our daughter is friendly, helpful, energetic, adventurous, thoughtful and very resilient. She is not overly affectionate but never was even as a baby she didn’t like to be held all day, in other words she’s not clingy in the slightest.She loves our 2 dogs and plays with them and cuddles them all the time. She tells people we meet about them and in general loves all types of animals.One of our dogs was sadly put to sleep this morning. He became ill suddenly and had to go to the emergency vet in the night. My husband took him and was with him until the end. Obviously I’m very upset and sad, and it’s not fair to expect her to react the same way I would, but it bothers me that she accepted the news very matter of factly and hasn’t expressed any emotion over the loss. She’s said a few things like “He’s dead, why are you thinking about him?” And “Now the dogs wont fight over food anymore” and the worst one..”Can we get a new puppy?”I’m not going to put my emotions and grief on her shoulders, she’s her own incredibly strong person but I suppose I’m struggling to accept her cold nature. I’m certain she’s a very well adjusted child but a nagging feeling is present that she’ll never develop empathy. I try to show empathy in our every day lives, my husband on the other hand is one of the least empathetic people I know. Not sure what I’m trying to achieve, perhaps to vent so I don’t put this on my 5 year olds shoulders. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PJ3muq
