does anyone elses child do this? talks normally, but when asking for soemthing barely speaks i na whisper?

[misdee]

dd2 does. drives me mad. i tell her to speak up as i cant hear her.

she can be v v v loud at all other times.

please tell me she doesnt have faulty volume controls.

Nope I think they do it to annoy us too -or possibly through shyness?

DD certainly doesn't have any problems screaming at me if the answer to her request is 'no'

[uptomyeyes]

DS2 does it. He can have perfectly audible conversations with his mates, but mumbles incoherently at me and then shouts if I ask him 2, 3 or 4 times to repeat himself.

I'm thinking it might be an aspect of his severe case of middle child syndrome.

My DD3 is like this. drives me insane.

Even school comments on her.....and yet she can be loud!

I am so confused as you would think being one of five she would be louder.....the others certainly are

[Mercy]

Yes my ds does this.

When he wants a biscuit or chocolate and thinks I'm going to say no!

[LisaLessLumpy]

Haha, mine does this too Mercy, makes me laugh
