I think that I find it so frustrating because I know that the kids should be more important than our chat, so it's not like I resent them or think that she should pay attention to me instead of them. And, it's hard for her.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

“Not dead yet!”
Echoing Cash on everything. Including the Beverly is nicer than me.
I don't know-- my default if I'm talking to someone who doesn't have kids, is to first find out how they feel about having the kids around rather than assume they're wanted everywhere.

Um, why should the kids be more important? In life, sure, but for that one hour block?

Our wings are not tired
I need to whine. I seem to have pinched a nerve or something like that in my upper back and it's driving me nuts. I'm stuck sitting in a theatre all day and I just can find a position that isn't causing me pain. It was also miserable driving down here since it hurts to turn my head to the left or right and you kind of have to do that to change lanes.

Feel better, ND.
Why did I think cooking today at Mom's would be a good idea? Now I don't want to come back tomorrow.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, ND, I am so sorry. Go away pinched nerve!

I'm with brenda on this one.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Have you taken anything? I suffer from something similar sometimes and it doesn't make the pain go away but a couple aspirin makes it bearable.

I mean in the sense that I shouldn't expect them not to pay attention to the kid, i.e. if the kid is about to knock over a vase in the middle of my story, I shouldn't expect the parent to not intervene with the kid.

I am not nicer. Y'all take that back. I told you it was the guilt talking.

Well, more important in a "if you don't pay attention to them, they may wreak havoc, or choke to death or something" kind of way, depending on how old they are (they sound young). You can't really resent that. Not more important in a "they HAVE to come!" way.
Agreed with everyone else, Vortex...
