AIBU getting frustrated with 5Yo I care for not thinking for themselves ever? Of course I am understand they are still little but in comparison to other children the same age I feel like their independent thinking is very lacking. I’m getting really sick of hearing my own voice because I have to tell them everything. examples being

-We get the bus everyday. Bus stops, doors open. I have to remind child to actually move to get off.
-At a road, unless I say stop they’ll just walk even if they are looking point blank at a car
-Doesn’t stand aside on a path when making eye contact with the person infront of them
-for example if were sat on a bench and I say okay let’s go, they’ll look at me until I say “yes pick up your bag”

there’s so many more things and they seem so trivial individually but I everything has to be prompted and it’s really making me fed up
