How much continuous listening in hours of time? That is a serious question. This is not a conversation with back and forth. It is a continuous unending stream of vocals. At what point should the child be expected to listen?

Please do not confuse empathy for sympathy.

There’s no ‘right’ answer for that.

One branch of my inlaws talk to each other in continuous stream of consciousness literally all day long and they are perfectly happy. I’d want to jump off a bridge after a day or so of having to listen to that. But that’s on me…

A lifetime of listening.

That’s the nature of being a parent.

It is placing a vulnerable person’s needs first.
