Imagine you sit there with a visibly broken foot and your mother looks at you and asks "So. What's the problem? I see nothing wrong".
A broken foot is an exaggeration obviously but the point is she should have known by now. It's visible. I have dark circles under my eyes since weeks. Any empathic human being who is not deliberately blind to this would have seen this.
And nah - talking to neighbors doesn't (/didn't) solve anything. Children are precious. They need to have their freedom to be awake the whole night. /s
edit: What I'm trying to say is - I've seen Fe-Polr's prefer to be "just understood" without having to explain their feelings to anyone.
