Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Parents of GT kids are isolated, too

Hey, great detail reading Dottie! and congrats momx2!

re: being emotionally sensistive...
...I have described 'discussions' I have with dh to my sister and she just laughs: 'You argue just like a man!!' she says. And really, all I can say is, well DH is such a girl! He's super verbal and to make sure I understand what he's saying he'll reiterate like 5000 times in various slightly different forms. Meanwhile I am like, ok, please, please PLEAAAASE get to the Point. (just in my head, of course!)
Actually I think we switch back and forth sometimes, but mostly he is very precise and detailed in describing an issue, and I am oriented towards the bottom line and let's move on! Without his details though, I would be lost.
I know I must come off as not caring because I try to rush to the 'end'.
