By far the easiest way to deal with my family is that way. Just pay attention enough, without loosing your mind.
And, if you are running a book store (LUCKY YOU, being around books all day, every day!!!!) , you have other things to do as well.
"Sorry, i´m going to have to lock myself in the bedroon tonight because I just have to finish this book. Here, you can read this or this or this, or watch tv. Enjoy!"
And tell your husband to shape up. Its his family, they are not there to see you, but him (and posisbly kids).  |
I do give her the book and I tell her I have to place an order. I don't even "uh hu" her anymore (which usually works with my mum by the way) . I just ignore even when she asks something (since she ignores my asking for a moment to finish what I am doing).
I think I tried everything in the book except for "I NEED MY SPACE, could you please go for a walk and be back later?".
That's all I have left perhaps.
