One word I am sure all parents can relate to is interupting. I am in mid conversation with a friend and suddenly there it is "Mummy, mummy, mummy". I turn to her and hold up my forefinger, indicating to her to wait a moment whilst I finish listening to my friend. A small hand tugs at my troussers and in a slightly louder voice "MUMMY!". I turn to her and say "One moment I am in the middle of a conversation. Can you wait a momnent?". As most of you know it doesn't end there. Sometimes, her voice becomes louder and then there's more tugging at my clothes. Othertimes, if I am at her level she will place her hand to my face and attempt yo turn it towards her and sometimes (these I dislike) my daughter will become angry and shout at me telling me I never listen to her and now she has forgotten what she wnated to say and it's all my fault. On a very bad day this can lead to a tantrum!
I taught my girls to say "excuse me" quite some time ago and just when I thought we were all being very mature, suddenly, every second minute, or so it seemed, I would here "excuse me mummy". Often not having anything to say, I can see the cogs turning in their heads thinking something up!! Very infuriating!!
We have great advice from Elizabeth Pantley sharing her tips as well as a lovely insight from Donna Cox.
