[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What 7 year old is that curious about what an adult does?[/quote] [b]Kids are curious[/b]. They ask questions and (some) careers are interesting. The brother said he was exhausted. A reasonable follow-up question is "why." Surely you're met children whose favorite word is "why." What on earth is brother exhausted from? Nothing. [b]That's why the child probed further[/b]. He was being gaslighted by a liar. [/quote] That's called being nosy and ill mannered, whether you are a kid or an adult. You are not entitled to the minutiae of someone's personal life or the reasons behind their decisions. It's not gaslighting to deflect personal questions it's a polite way to signal to a nosy person to back off and still allow them to save face. The next person OP's son needles might not be as kind as his uncle and give him a piece of his/her mind.[/quote]
