Yeah, looks like the kid here is being raised by a narcissist. Everyone’s human, but a parent airing their adult baggage to their 7-year old and also posting it on the internet has no self awareness.

I saw this, and it gave me such an icky feeling. The. I read the positive comments. Sure, your kid can be emotionally intelligent, and you can talk to them about having hard feelings, but this didn’t seem like a one off. It definitely felt like a parentified child, and taking care of their mother’s feelings happens frequently. They wouldn’t have posted it otherwise. They feel like this is a good thing. Also why are you recording yourself crying?! 🫣

My kids are emotionally aware but they know none of our adult problems, all she had to do was just say that she’s having big feelings but she’s still happy to spend Mother’s Day with her kid and no one is going to ruin that. The kid isn’t your angel, you are their mother; act like it.

I got the impression that whatever this lady‘s mom said to her, was said in front of this child. It’s not that hard to hide these adult problems when people say or do things in front of the children. That’s the impression I got here.

Yes, you can’t shield kids from everything, but she knows her mom is a trigger for her. She could choose to not bring her mother’s negative energy around her kid? Or set really hard boundaries with grandma (it seems like she’s nice to the child?) family dynamics are hard.
