She sees something she wants. She opens it. She explores it.
It needs the plug.
I say it's probably over there under the sofa
She doesn't even look. I mean she goes over, she stands behind the sofa but doesn't actually look. You know as in bend down, look under and maybe lift a blanket a bit.
She stands there sort of looking then gives up and leaves the room.
A few mins later I peer and its right there. Easy.
Why? Tell me why? Is she lazy?
Barry says its cos she's lazy but there must be more to it. Are 6yr olds lazy? It's probably my fault in some way. Isn't it always?!!
I *want* to believe its for another reason. I want to believe she maybe wasn't sure what she was looking for. Or something. Anything. I can't even think of another explanation.
I'm menstrual, tired and just done in, so I then get irrational, petty and mean and try and stop Barry from setting it up and plugging it in by saying "fuck that why should you? If she wants it she can do it herself".
Such a great example I'm setting of kindness and compassion. It probably actually is my fault!
Thankfully he ignores me.
