I'm doing my part!!

My brother and his wife had their youngest (boy) the same year my sister and her husband had their first (girl). They were about 2-3 when covid happened. Schools were shut down and for my brother's family working from home for the most part was okay. My SIL sometimes had to go into work because she was a teacher, but that also worked in their kids' favour because she could be teacher at home too. My sister and BIL made the choice to keep sending their daughter to her nursery. She had been a preemie and it had taken her quite a while to talk and going to nursery is really what started getting her progressing where she should (she literally doesn't shut up now 😅).

I say all this to say that my nephew really struggled with other children. He would fight with his siblings a lot. He would act out and misbehave, he wouldn't share toys with others and would snatch them if he wanted to play with them. And this I believe is because his only socialisation with other kids for a good 6 months of his key development was with his older brother and sister who were 10 and 6 respectively. It's only now, five years on that he's really starting to grasp correct socialisation. He's still a little naughty from time to time but it's nowhere near what it was. After the lockdown was lifted it took him years to willingly come to me and hug me the way my other niblings would do. It's only within the last 18 months that he's started to show me more affection too.

My niece didn't have these issues. She remained sociable through the lockdown and the second I saw her again once lockdown was lifted, she was climbing into my lap and chatting away, even when I'm fairly sure she's on the spectrum and socialisation doesn't come naturally to her.

There's a lot of factors, obviously. But I genuinely believe a lot of my nephew's issues come from the lockdown affecting his development. I don't say this to disparage the lockdown. I think it was incredibly important. I merely say all this because children need to socialise with other children their own age. My nephew was always around his siblings whereas my niece was an only child at the time but he fared far worse than she did in terms of their socialisation.

Toddlers are just little people in training. You can't set them up to fail or punish them for being what they are.

Okay so. Abby left at night. aka the sun had already set on hers and Buck's relationship, he just didn't know that yet.

But Eddie? Eddie's leaving in the daylight. Mostly likely in the morning. Whilst it's a little cloudy and the sun hasn't fully come up yet. Because their relationship is only just beginning.

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.
