I laughed out loud at the chatter comment. That's so true. I need to record the Manager talking because it's hilarious....for about 5 minutes. He asked me a question today but kept going on so long that the only way I could answer was to finally interrupt and point out that a 500-word question is difficult to answer. They don't usually drive me too crazy because they all talk to each other, but Hubby and I have frequently talked about how insane it would be to field all that chatter on our own. Hey it just occurred to me: what if you played music real loud in the house while they help you with housework? If everyone is dancing their way through chores maybe they won't be talking so much. Maybe? It's just a thought that popped into my head. What do you think? Hi Monica. I laughed out loud at the chatter comment. That’s so true.

I want their help, but I need earphones to be content. my five year old boy loves to help, same with the 3 year old girl. older ones - not so much.
