Actually, dd1 have more quality conversationswhen I am combing her than almost any other - there is nothing to distract us (except the yelling of ds1, ds2, dd2 andthe frustrated "How muchlonger?!" from dp) - but then, if we were all combing together....

But then it turns into the haves and the have nots - with the have nots not wanting to get in too close contact with the haves (I'm talking about DH here...).

Plus its always down to me to do the grooming, even my own!
