Took my 12-year-old in for her regular checkup today, and halfway through, the nurse goes, “Mom, can you wait outside for a few mins?” I said, “Nah, I’m good right here.” She tried again. “It’ll only be for a minute.” I told her, “That’s okay. Me and her dad already agreed our kids aren’t staying alone behind closed doors with adults we don’t personally know, medical staff included. Whatever you gotta ask her or check, you can do it while I’m sitting here.” Her whole vibe changed. She looked annoyed, said basically nothing, then walked out. And what got me was... she never came back to do whatever supposedly needed me outta the room for. That made me side-eye the whole thing even more. Soon as she left, my daughter looked at me and said, “Thank you for staying.” Yeah. That was enough for me...
