[quote=Anonymous]Are there some creative ways to maybe find more quiet time and time apart?  Such as:
-Wear a headset and pretend like you're on a conference call
-Wear a headset and pretend like you're listening to music
-Play some music on tv or on Alexa so everyone will listen more than talk
-Turn on the tv so she watches
-Make an appointment for AP to go get a manicure/pedicure along with a gift card
-Give her a gift card to go to the movies
-Pay and book her a room at a hotel in DC for the weekend as a treat 
-Simply say, "I'm in a bad mood this morning/I didn't sleep well last night/I have a lot on my mind. Mind if we don't talk until l have my coffee?"
-Distract her with small tasks. Ask her to make a grocery list, get online and research upcoming kids' events in the area, google new restaurants in the area, find upcoming library events for the kids, research hotel prices, tell her to google places she wants to travel and see if she can find deals online, etc. Small things to keep her occupied.[/quote]
