Is it acceptable to admit that you are bored by your children sometimes? Dd (12) has always been a chatterbox and I have never discouraged her, but lately I find her incessant chatter about nothing in particular drives me crackers. Ignoring her makes her try all the harder to get my attention. Then I snap at her and she is hugely offended. What is a tactful way of suggesting she thinks before she speaks? Perhaps I should try to spend more time on purposeful chatter with her - and less time on MN????? Noooooooooo!!!
