[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents and I are champs of the 3-minute FT-with-kids. Hello, oh what a nice picture you drew, oh what a lovely purple dress, love you sweetheart, bye.

My husband and his family keep trying to make 45-minute FT-with-little-kids happen. It's chaos, it's stupid, they won't learn the lesson, they won't let it go. Are you like this, OP? Do you try to make it a marathon, when it should be a sprint?[/quote]

I would love to have short conversations with my parents. From my perspective, my parents drone on and on about TV shows they watched, while simultaneously being frustrated that I’m getting distracted by a toddler. He can be left alone for 10-15 minutes, but after that he wants attention.[/quote]

SO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND TELL THEM THAT. "Hi Mom, I've got Billy with me, so I need to make this quick. Would you rather I called back when he was asleep?"[/quote]

You’re missing the point. She doesn’t want to have a marathon listening session. Her parents tv shows and ailments aren’t going to be interesting atfter bedtime.

She WANTS SHORT phone conversations with her parents. [/quote]

OK, COOL. Then keep it short! Obviously! Literally, that's the only way to do it--keep it short, then![/quote]
