the purple cup
a between us guide
the purple cup
she asked for the purple cup yesterday. today it's the wrong one.
nobody got this wrong. the cup didn't change. she did, somewhere between yesterday and today, in a way she can't explain yet and you couldn't have seen coming.
it isn't about the cup. it's never about the cup.
what she needs isn't the right colour. it's someone not leaving the room while she's this big a mess. that's the whole job, most days. staying in the room.
try thisnext time it's a cup, a sock, a shoe on the wrong foot. don't fix it first. sit down at her height and say "you're really cross about this." wait. the fixing can come after.
we're finding 1000 mums who stay in the room. between us, coming. link below if you're one.
