Not only because they repeat what they hear but they can be very hurt when they hear something unpleasant about someone they care about. Especially true when talking a parent who may not be in the family group.

My Daughter used to sit on the stairs outside the living room listening to conversations when we thought she was playing in her room!

Its true Dizzi, what you say and what they hear are two entirley different things.

Have a lovely Christmas Dizzy if I dont have a chance to chat again.
