[quote=Anonymous]My child knows just what to say and when and how to say it, often leaving spouse dumbfounded cause he does not have the same ability or willingness.  I was expressing concern about some complications from surgery to spouse very quietly in the other room while they listened.  DC came from the other room where he was playing a game on the iPad and walked past spouse and came and hugged me and started ever so gently patting me on the back. He always asks about my day, has a kind word, etc.  He is thoughtful and kind with friends too.  He is happy, makes friends easily etc.  He can also stand up for himself and does it well and with logic and a lot of sense.  He leaves me and DH speechless at times with his level of insight and awareness.  At other times he's just a 9 yo kid.  I have told him repeatedly that his job is to be a child and have fun and not take care of me.  His reply is that he wants to take care of me.  Thoughts? PS. He is adopted at birth, so he's not got genetics from me or spouse.  TIA[/quote]
