Sarah, exactly what I was thinking.
When my son is whining and I can't take it anymore, I whine right back at him and he stops. When my daughter is talking, talking, talking, talking and can't seem to stop and I can't take it anymore, I make chicken noises. It stops. I really don't know what that has to do with anything, but it crossed my mind.
Perhaps the husbands words sounds like this "On and on, blah, blah, blah" to married to it! It does sound like nonsense after awhile.
Marriedtoit ....you're doing fine. Cut yourself some slack, Rome wasn't built in a day.
