Whether or not he realizes it is beside the point, too.<br /><br />I am so glad that you DO talk... you are an inspiration and I admire your willingness to be frank and straightforward.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-87168568084228099652010-07-10T20:50:16.391-06:002010-07-10T20:50:16.391-06:00Judy, I just thinking I'd love for my girl to ...Judy, I just thinking I'd love for my girl to be talking too much it's great that you have so much to say and your daughters as well. I hope one day I'll be concerned about all of my Ashley's talking. Great post I love how honest you are and that you have so much to write about I'm sure you notice from my posts that I lack in that department hence all the photos I love to include to fill the space.Sherry Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320106277509509294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-46014292804195617492010-07-10T20:21:16.849-06:002010-07-10T20:21:16.849-06:00I got through!

And sometimes, I say "Josie.Please just stop talking" but now, I realize that is hurtful and stifling. I will have to think of something else to say when I can't concentrate on something because she's talking so much! She is what she is and I love her. And, I'd hate for her to write something like this about me someday!<br />Thanks for a great post!mrs.boring stay at homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519025092675731316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-91257105662913509642010-07-10T08:44:48.561-06:002010-07-10T08:44:48.561-06:00I was called a CHatty Cathy as a child , always so...I was called a CHatty Cathy as a child , always so excited about waht I had learned. My mom would shut me down or laugh at me as did some others , but my grandad and my uncle set them all straight saying , "if you listen to her she has something to say " because of that type of support and the fact that many of my family members also talk a lot , I found I could say what I needed to and let it go .Sad that the first thing you father in law did was to hurt you and belittle you . But really you and your hubby sound like you were exactly what each otther needed. And your FIL, missed the point altogether.Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-73337157125680578952010-07-10T07:50:02.949-06:002010-07-10T07:50:02.949-06:00Isn't that awesome, to have found an answer/ex...Isn't that awesome, to have found an answer/explanation? Hopefully it will help you feel better, to know that it's not your fault. <br /><br />(I know, that seems to be my answer for any discovery that people make about themselves, but I love learning stuff like that about myself. It helps me to understand who I am and why I am the way I am. I do realize, though, that lots of people aren't into retrospection and self-discovery.)<br /><br />If you pointed this out to your father-in-law, do you think this could change his comments?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846551964879940585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-5577749093946517972010-07-10T05:26:37.900-06:002010-07-10T05:26:37.900-06:00I was always told that I talk too much as well.

Not embarrassing stuff, just too much.

I have to make sure every detail is included so the other people understand what I am trying to convey. It's something that causes me embarrassment too. Whenever my mother would tell me I was talking too much, I felt that lump. <br /><br />Perhaps your father-in-law doesn't realize what he says is hurtful to you. Maybe if you gently approached the subject, he'd be more mindful of making comments. Just a thought.Avery Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807978015167203475noreply@blogger.com
