I totally agree. It hurts me. I’m not a parent right now but was a child who didn’t have a bond with one of my parents, my dad is a narcissist and I see a lot of my own memories being replayed with Sophie and Ronnie. The trying to be an amazing parent for other people in public, the leaving him out and ignoring him in the background. She’s so performative. She doesn’t need to be in his face like that, she’s done it since birth and if Ronnie does have sensory/stimulation issues that could be so so bad for him. She just seems unhinged, shrieking, excessive touching etc it’s just not right.
You never see her sitting with him and just “being”. Like not trying to pose for the gram and make her son play with her. I think she’s desperately trying to fix the bond with Ronnie now he’s becoming his own little person but it’s too late. I just don’t get her at all. It’s bizarre and I honestly feel SO sad for the kids.
I just know Ronnie is going to be such an anxious boy in years to come.
