[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well I don't know how she is with other adults, I just know she likes to be interested in ur conversations about office politics, looking for jobs, and home renovation and costs. We don't intend to include her but she hears us talking about our day. She obviously ask us about our rules, but generally in an inquisitive way than defiance, she is actually generally obedient but may want explanation or try negotiation before complying. I wonder if she does that just with us as parents or other adults.

And honestly even as an adult, it can be tricky to navigate joining a conversation and butting in, like at any social gathering. But we definitely aren't raising kids to the 'seen but not heard' standard, so perhaps we should?[/quote]

It is fine to be involved in conversations like that with your own parents, grandparents, or other close family members, but not the parents of your friends.  When we have kids over, I'm fine with making a bit of small talk with them, but I mostly want them to leave me alone and play with my kid.  [/quote]
