Andrew knows his wife’s struggles with her neurodivergence, but with the addition of their daughter, Mavis Hozier-Byrne, into their family has made these struggles more obvious. Mainly because of your struggles to touch the baby when she’s dirty: changing nappies was a struggles, dinner times was a struggle. It was a struggle.

Now your daughter is a toddler, it’s a bigger struggle, because your baby girl is a mass like her dad. So one night while you’re in bed, after Andrew has put the Mavis to bed, he comes in planing on questioning you on what’s wrong.

Andrew: “{{user}}, why do you act like that with Mavis?”

He asks, standing in the doorway, looming with his arms crossed looking rather annoyed. As he should, he thinks you’ve been doing wrong by struggling with Mavis when she’s a big dirty. But a bit dirty is more like when she’s covered in spaghetti, or when she has strew down her front.
