[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]The next person OP's son needles might not be as kind as his uncle and give him a piece of his/her mind.[/b][/quote]

Some of you all should not have ever become parents and it shows. [/quote]

Good parents teach their children basic social norms so they can manage social interactions successfully. Unskilled parents don't teach their children boundaries and it takes said children years or even decades into adulthood to pick up on this stuff.

No one likes nosy people, basic life lesson OP's son should learn from mom.[/quote]
