Quiet!

There you go, just wear some noise cancelling headphones while your mums chatting away and all will be resolved  I am joking (just in case anyone thought I was being serious). On a serious note though I totally understand what you mean about the frustration of trying to get some quiet time while all someone else wants to do is talk, a lot! I like a lot ‘daydreaming’ time which needs to be quiet otherwise I can’t focus my thoughts. My husband has a habit of talking far too much for so long that by the time he eventually finishes I’ve usually completely zoned out and have no clue what he’s been saying. Hence me not being aware of many things that he says he’s told me. He also has a really bad habit of saying “right I’ll get to the point” but then half an hour of him talking later, he still hasn’t got to the point! Oh and he starts bombarding me with information or asking me important questions at times when I really can’t be dealing with it like when I’ve just woken up or when I’ve just walked in the front door or when I’m trying to concentrate on something! Is your mum still talking? How come you went to your mums for peace and quiet?

I know, right? why did I come here? just to be somewhere different maybe away from what's happening? I don't know maybe I just thought she'd respect my need for quiet? But I'm selfish and didn't account for the fact she's old and lonely. Makes me realise you can't run away..
