Lately my son has been telling me some new things, including…
“I hate you!”, “I hate you both!” (to his dad and me), “You’re making me starve!” (when I won’t cook a second or third dinner) and “You’re a poo-poo head!”
I hadn’t heard these things from him until recently.
Well now, the “poo-poo head” is getting to have her say. Read on.
I have to admit, these new things he’s saying are taking me aback. Mostly I think it’s because there’s a level of directedness toward me that wasn’t there before. It’s hard not to take it personally and react accordingly.
