Kimberly, welcome to the program.

0:14.0

Hi, thank you. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you.

I have a question about my husband. So I think he waits a lot of times like playing video games he could play from anywhere between three to five hours every day.

0:32.0

And I'm just wondering if I'm being like unreasonable to want him to know you know you're not being unreasonable. Are you that easily pounded down?
