Who is at fault?

One day, the family went out for dinner without N... Halfway through the meal, my innocent Claudia suddenly said " N not here, I so happy :)"

What was my reaction? I laughed... (and Daddy did too) Anything wrong with tat? We were so used to her saying things like this in front of friends and relatives... N dun love me, only love Gor²... N dun sayang me... I am scared of N.... blah blah blah....

Would any idoit teach a 2.5 yr old gal to say all these things? Obviously no right? Then where is the problem? She can feel, she can hear, she can tell the unfairly treatment that she has been getting all this while... We, as the parents, know it but we kept quiet.... but if my little gal can feel it so strongly, are we still supposed to tell little white lies to her? Whenever u tell her "N loves u", 9 out of 10 times she will reply with a straight NO.... How to correct her when the facts differ?

What am I supposed to do? We kept quiet even though the double standard is so damn obvious... I dun tink Claudia deserves a scolding for saying this, she is just innocently expressing her feelings... Is it wrong? I can't squeeze her into other people's heart... To me, those hurtful words that were said in front of a innocent child for the past 2.5 yrs was wrong, my princess dun deserve this treatment....
