DD is my first dc, she is 6yrs old. I also have a 3yr old DS.
DD has always been a bit 'other worldy' she is very bright, finds school a doddle, but enjoys it hugely. Think Luna Lovegood :o
She has been a dream of a child, never any sleeping, eating, behaviour issues (none lasting anyway)
The problem is that we have absolutely nothing in common. She likes computer games, pokemon (and all the facts, evolutions etc) and becomes a bit obsessed with things. I try to get involved a bit, but she only wants to talk about pokemon, read about pokemon, tell me about the computer game with pokemon etc. When I try to read her a bedtime story, she asks me to only read one page as she is genuinely not interested.
I try to take her out for individual treats and things, but I get the feeling she just doesn't want to spend time with me. She is starting to lose some friends too as she is so obsessed.
There have been other obsessions in the past, but with her being younger it didn't bother me.
