Hi all
I love my 3yr old step son, but I am also 28 weeks pregnant and exhausted. He is a lovely little boy, however from the moment he gets up, to the moment he goes to sleep he talks NONE stop. He doesn't have naps anymore either, so there is no peace/quiet time at all during 8am and 8pm...
He will talk about everything and anything, and well I know this is brilliant and his speech is brilliant for 3yrs old, I am finding it draining!
He asks questions for everything, even if he knows the answers! Which I find realllllyyyy draining! I don't know how to approach it, encourage quiet time or what? Literally don't know what to do!
He'll see you come out of the shower, and have to ask 'You had a shower' which is fine, but he needs to repeat himself over and over, sometimes he will say something 10 times!
I don't think being pregnant and exhausted is helping my patience, but have read on here before about other kids being the same... So thought I'd ask how you all cope!!
