I honestly think her son just doesn’t get any attention from her. She seems to forget that he isn’t the same age as her daughter and expects them to have the same response. Plenty of 6 year olds don’t like the cinema. It’s why Cineworld introduced Saturday club where they (or at least where they used to) keep the lights up, have games and the film was always the audio description version which is generally quieter (so that anyone listening to the audio description on headphones can actually hear it). But introducing him slowly, or accepting that he just doesn’t enjoy it, is too much for our Emma. No, much better to force him and complain about how he doesn’t like the things she likes doing.
Being a parent isn’t supposed to be about what you want to do, it’s about discovering what they like and nurturing them. But narcissistic Emma just wants mini-me’s. He’ll never be the perfect little clone so she’ll never care. Which is a shame, because out of the two kids he seems like the nicer one!
