Baby gal is at an age where she determines whether you are her friend or not depending on what she perceives pleases her. So she unleashes sentences like ..: Mummy are you my friend? or Mummy you are not my friend now". When I take her to be and she had said am not her friend, she says mummy sit on my bed you are my friend now.
Anyways yesterday she put her daddy is an awkward position. We were watching TV and she was lying on my beloved and she said " Mummy , daddy is not your friend" and I told her ask daddy whether he is my friend. So she asked and daddy responded "Oh yes mummy is my friend". We also have a house help in the house and the next sentence was "daddy is aunty XX your friend?"..I was very keen to hear his response. Alex evaded that question by reassuring her that mummy and Samara are his friends. The questions kids ask in their innocence.
But in all that, baby gal keeps reminding us how relational we are. We can not do without relationships and it is important to reassure our children and those around that no matter what they do, our love is unconditional.
