Dear Queenie,
When someone says something my wife doesn’t agree with she doesn’t listen to them or argue with them, she just starts talking about something else. Once when they kept on talking about what she didn’t want to hear she actually put her hands over her ears and walked away.
Queenie, how do you deal with someone like that?—Stumped
Dear Stumped,
Your wife sounds rather childish. Covering the ears and going “la la la la la” is what kindergarten children do.
When she does it to you, just say “Yes, dear,” change the subject and go ahead and do whatever it was she did not want to hear about. If she complains later, remind her that you tried to talk to her about it and she refused to listen. Hopefully, she eventually will get the message – hopefully!
