With my first yf Eevee, when I was 19. This was the kid I knew from birth, who was always happy to see me, even if I didn't bond with him, whilst he was growing up. Eevee also used to tell stories, exagerate things that happened expecting me to believe them. His mother (5 yrs older than me), was no different. I loved him unconditionally, he didn't have a dad & to be honest only myself & my dad had some idea who the father was & I felt it right to tell him. I didn't solve the problem either, but I haven't seen him for over 6 years so I don't know how he's progressed. If it is attention seeking, just be yourself, love him as much as you can. About a serious chat? - Maybe cause he's still growing up it may not have any effect, but if you do, do it lovingly. I once had to tell Eevee off on a bus once, after he ran away one day whilst out with me. I'd followed him & a car had pulled up beside him, but drove off. When I caught up with him, we sat quitely for 10 mins, before I explained my worries about his actions & the "what if you'd been taken thing" or lost, cause he was my resposibility whilst he was with me. He sort of told his mum about it, but he understood what he'd done wrong & learnt from it. I wish you luck & love with your 9yo. Eevee was also the same age at the time. Lv Halo |
