I'd give her the benefit of the doubt - although mainly because I've been the one saying the snarky things lately. She's pregnant and exhausted and even the most marvelous 6 year old can be a chore sometimes. I watch my neighbor's 6 year old on a pretty regular basis. Even though she's a great kid, after a particularly tiring day I catch myself thinking (and occasionally saying) really nasty things about her. My 6 year old neice was here for a week recently and it was the same thing. Fantastic kid, very polite, easy to please, a real pleasure to be with, but by the end of the day it was all I could do to not say nasty things about her to her mother.

When I'm tired, nobody can push my buttons quite like someone else's kid between the ages of 5 and 9. I hope it's not just me.
