[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sound of a parent reading is way better than the sound of someone’s one-sided work call or someone watching loud video news in a foreign language that I don’t speak or understand.

But maybe just assume she had a migraine and was having a spectacularly sucky day. She was being passive aggressive and rude.

I don’t think reading a book is wrong unless you misperceived how loud you were or were being really performative- my two pet peeves that I’m stuck with in my family. My DH doesn’t know how to speak softly and his attempts to whisper are actually louder than his normal voice. [b]And my SIL is a performative parent and it is tedious to be in her presence when she’s “on”. Maybe you accidentally did one of those?[/quote][/b]

I know exactly what you mean!! Maybe I was giving that vibe! I was reading kind of slowly and [b]asking him questions between the pages. [/b]It was because was sitting nicely and he usually gets really whiny in these situations so I was trying to keep him captive.[/quote]

This was what aggravate her. Read a story, fine. Hold a seminar in between every page turn? Bonkers annoying. I’m sure your questions had that granola parent sing-song voice. I know it because we did it too. But in doctors offices we always brought crayons and paper. [/quote]
