I mean they must, right? Or they at least get a laugh out of knowing they’re causing massive frustration for us.
You try to communicate with your kids and it’s like,
“Shelby. Shelby. (louder now) Shelby!”
Finally, your teenager yanks her headset or ear buds off and responds,
“You don’t have to yell, Dad. Geez!”
But as a rant I realize that I use the same mechanism to tune out my kids.
Oh, well.
