She is a grown woman, to be fair who has had some heavy stuff to deal with in life, but this action of sucking her thumb has become a habit that wins people over for her.
I never said she WAS a little girl lost, I said the thumb sucking was a little girl lost thing.
I am rather worn out from your unwarranted exchanges with me earlier today so thats my final word on this matter,but I would ask you to do one thing, read my posts if you must but read them and 'dont' read things 'into' them that I have not meant or actually said either.

Maybe it gets her attention - so she chooses not to make the effort - who knows! She doesn't strike me as someone who likes to make much effort to do anything!

Yeah I was amused by that,
"can I have something to stop me sucking my thumb,"
"try this paint on stuff it tastes horrible"


"Ugh thats horrible am not using that it stops me sucking my thumb"
