Thanks! I feel the same way. What? I'm supposed to be less attentive? Pick her up less? Not respond to her cries? Let her deal with her frustrations or fears on her own? Send her to her room?

I'm not good with confrontation -- OK, I'm terrible with it -- so I said nothing... but promptly disregarded the whole visit and anything else she had to say. And it made me feel... bad. Not "doubting myself" bad, just general "unpleasant experience" bad.

Anyway, I'm clogging Ailbhe's journal. :-)
