I have a 6 yr old boy who is terribly passive agressive.
"I wonder what I am going to eat with..." (When I haven't yet set his fork on the table.)
"I wish I could go ____ too" (when his name hasn't been called yet for something)
"hmmm.... I kinda really like ***XX toy" (instead of asking to play something)
" I.....I.....I think..... I hmmmm..... I (sigh) have wet hands." (Instead of a simple DUDE, WERE OUT OF PAPER TOWELS!!!)
What do you do with this???? I try to ignore it but literally this is EVERYTHING, he is the least direct kid I have ever met, never asks for anything, simply "wishes, wonders, thinks etc". I have ignored it and he just continues on and on and on. Finally today I said "Hmm, Im not sure WHAT your going to eat with BUT IM SURE YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT ". Really, what would you do with this?
