[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a sibling that is non productive like this but I don’t find it odd that a 7 year old would know that most grown ups work - probably except for some parents that stay home to take care of their kids. Of course if a struck k the kid as confusing trying to understand what a grown adult without kids DOES for money if the answer is nothing. [/quote]

Right. My guess is that OP obsessed about these topics at home, and loudly. Seven year olds DO listen and pick up everything, even when you think they don’t. Shame on you OP. You’re letting your family issues spill over to your children. Do better![/quote]

Do you know 7 years olds?  They can fixate on something and not let it go.  They are inquisitive and like to ask questions and try to understand things.

The fact people on here have an issue with a 7 year old asking questions but not with a 42 year old man who lives at home, doesn’t contribute, no job, and has no known medical or mental condition is frustrating to me.

Kids ask questions.  He sees his uncle live with his grandparents and sit on the couch all day!  My husband travels constantly all over the world for work.  My nephew who is 7 asks him 10000000 questions about his job.  My kid who is the same age tells his cousin it’s boring, but my nephew wants to know.  Probably because it’s different from what he knows and is trying to understand it.  Just like why my 7 year old asks me why we can’t live by his cousins and my in laws (for our work).

My twin sister is not married or have a partner or kids and my child asked her once why she wasn’t married and didn’t have kids.  I don’t talk about her like that she has a great life!  She proudly stated not everyone wants to be married and not everyone wants to have kids and she loves my kids but she doesn’t want kids and she likes living alone.  Then he asked her if she was ever lonely.  She said she had been.  Afterwards I apologized to her but she said no apology needed and that kids are curious and she is happy my kids can see other ways people can live their lives. But she has a job and owns a condo.  I’m sure if she didn’t have a job my kid would also ask her why she didn’t work…[/quote]
