** Its nothing you're doing, you're just being a moppet. Do you think
we can work this out and I get some mamma time?**

I'm wondering if some of this is just about personalities or family
style. My kids would cringe at "you're just being a moppet." Even as
little kids they always expected me to take them as seriously (not
talking NCP, just normal usage) as I would an adult. I know other
families that relate differently with good results, and I have no idea
whether that's personality, environment, or some combination.

This may have something to do with ages too... Lisa was probably much
more patient with 1000 interruptions when her kids were really little.
She'always been very patient when my 5 year old interrupts her over and
over.

Talking things through doesn't always have to be about blaming, whether
we talk about it immediately or later, along with or apart from
apologies.
