I like to tell my husband about various things our daughter does when I know she’s probably listening. “She helped me with dishes, I didn’t even ask. She just came over and said she wanted to help, so when I asked her to dry a pile of bowls, she didn’t even hesitate. She was so careful and gentle and so thorough.”
For sure. I told her that she didn’t have to, it’s not her job or chore. She’s 4, for context. I just want her to pick up her toys at the end of the day 😭
Mostly though, I want her to know that I appreciate her, and that I notice the little things.
What do you think would have been helpful for you growing up?

Not parent, just dysfunctional child of parent.
This would wreck my brain a bit trying to play a role that’s seemingly immensely important to my parents.
