[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am constantly amazed at the negative things I hear other mothers saying out loud about their children -- or other people's children! -- while these children are within earshot. And these loud mothers are so self-involved they think the children aren't listening. The children are listening.[/quote] Yes, they're listening and observing and, unfortunately, misinterpreting. While you may have been annoyed at your SIL, the child probably interpreted your annoyance as being directed toward him. Why wouldn't he? His own mother's directing annoyance at him on a regular basis just because he's a kid who needs nurturance, and she feels his needs as burdensome. Poor kid. Good thing his grandmother seems to care about him. Still, sounds like a lot of damage is being done to him.[/quote]
