my daughter just turned 8 last week and when I picked her up she said “dad you make mummy very sad when you come to get me”
those aren’t her words. she’s never talked like that before. it’s like she’s been coached what to say
has anyone else dealt with this? kids suddenly using adult phrases that don’t sound like them at all? she used to run to the car excited to see me and now she’s just… different. distant
I don’t know if I should call her out on it or just ignore it? part of me wants to ask where she heard that but I don’t want to put her in the middle more than she already is
this is killing me. she’s 8 years old and already being used as a messenger
