Wasnt really sure how to word the OP.
I see a friend, who I love to bits, but I find it difficult to hold her attention to a conversation. I wondered if anyone else did this themselves? Or like me, is on the recieving end of it.
She was fine when our toddlers were babies, but now conversing with her can be rather painful.
Id not seen her in weeks, she knew Id split from my partner so it was one of the first things she asked. I began to tell her, but she'd be constantly tickling and playing with her toddler, blowing raspberries on him, laughing with him, talking to him. As though I wasnt in the room, let alone answering her question.
She'll do it with her eldest too, although its not so bad now her her first DC is no longer a toddler.
Is it a bit rude, or AIBU and this is usual once your a parent?
I have children myself but when someone is talking to me they have my attention. Unless of course child needs a wee or is hurt or something obviously.
AIBU?
