AIBU to be annoyed by this comment

[WasUnderThirthy]

My dad?s new gf, a spacy new-age type, came to my house and after meeting dd for the second time only, said:

?Oh she is at home, in her element, she must be happy now?

My dd is 3 and had gdd. So, I am wondering what does she mean, that she is not happy elsewhere? Because she is. I know it?s not a big deal, but it annoyed me.

Maybe I am overreacting because I still want people to treat her and us normally?

You know, she could well have emant just that she must be happy to be in such a warm loving home; just badly worried.

I am often first to prickle but tbh I woudln't worry too much about this as a lone comment- see how she goes from hereon in.

spacy new age hippy types say weird things about NT children too. Can't remember specific ones as they tend to wash over me (and were pre-me having my own kids) but have definitely heard gobbledygook of that nature before

give her another chance (though if she turns out to generally make dippy statements you might have to start wondering about your dad's judgement I suppose!)

Oh goodness yes DG

A friend is space age hippy: after witnessing her ds smack my ds2 over the ehad with a metal lunch tin she mewed that 'ooh kids will be kids, they need to do it to learn its wrong'. Luckily i wasn't there at toime (DH was) but is fairly typical tbh of ehr
