[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the response to do the Myer's Briggs test.  I did it recently and I found out that I was equal 50% introvert 50% extrovert, which explained a lot to me about my own behaviors.  I would also recommend doing the 5 Love Languages test for both your DH and DS.  That will help you a lot to determine what language they speak and how you can best show them love by how they receive it.  This link will take you to a page on love languages.

This is me, too - right on the line of introvert and extravert. I need a LOT of alone time, but I also need a certain amount of time with other people.

My mother is extremely extraverted. Growing up, the hard part about that was that our house was never quiet. I'd come down for breakfast in the morning and she'd be ready to just jump in with a lot of talking. The house wasn't really set up for me to have any space to myself - the door on my bedroom doesn't even shut properly. I just remember feeling as if at any second I was going to have someone barging in on me. There was no quiet place to study, even; I had terrible terrible grades.

I love my mom very much and it's probably as unrealistic for me to think she could have controlled her need to talk all the time, as it is for her to think that I could have controlled my need for some quiet and space. I guess I would try, in your shoes, to have an honest conversation with your husband and son - let them know that you recognize their needs are different from yours, and ask them to let you know (kindly) what they need. Be sure to let them know what you need, too - you're important in this situation as well!
