It's quite a line to be drawn from a cupcake to someone not caring. Did it just hurt your feelings that day or are there other instances.

My parent motto: Pick your Wars.

I feel, a GREAT deal of the time that my kids don't care about me. And it's true. They're young, they have tunnel vision & don't have the brain capacity for this. Their main brain function is focused on the amygdala not the frontal cortex.
So for me, I have to stand back & not just judge my child according to the nasty things they sometimes say & do, but what their brain capacity is for them as a human.
Goes back to basic psych.

So was there something else?
