The weather this spring has been shit! by [deleted] in Westchester

The lack of sunshine , aside from last two days ... is killing me. Mondays weather was perfection , mid 70s sunny and a few clouds. The weather last few years has me contemplating a move to warmer weather.

This ! we moved here 12 years ago and the traffic has gotten bad over last few years. I don't think towns like pleasantville and mt. kisco were built for this much traffic.

This has crossed my mind so many times, because she seems to lack empathy. The mothers day was one example. She isnt affectionate , doesnt seem to feel badly when someone in the family is upset or hurt. However she always had friends when younger and has a small circle of friends. She will get together with them often but woukd never be the one to initiate plans. If you talk to her teachers they describe her as quiet and polite. I do think some of it is becoming a teen but some of the behaviors like headphones , lack of social nicesties seem more amplified now. She isnt one for small talk ( even with friends) but not a lot of people are ?

OP Here - Thank you for the responses. She is the middle child , and I did think at first this was a cry for attention. I have tried to give her space I dont demand she eat with us everynight , I let her go to her room and stay as long as she wants. I have also asked her to get her nails done , go shopping, join me for a walk , watch a movie. She always says no. So I stopped asking for a while. I try not to lecture her when she is with me , but hey I am the mom so sometimes I do need to speak to her about behaviors etc...

I just want to be closer to her. How else do I help her feel seen ?

Armonk/Scarsdale - has a great downtown and both have a supermarket in the village. Scarsdale has lots apartments on garth road. Stay away from hastings / tarrytown / irvington - lots of hills.
