Does anyone else's child not stop talking?!

[Contraceptionismyfriend]

He's 5 and I swear he doesn't shut up. He talks constantly. I've made a massive effort today to give them a good fulfilling day.
9 am they were both out on their bikes with baby in the pram. Rode to the local playing fields I talked, tried to help him ride his bike more confidently, played football, and then park.

3 bloody hours we were out.

Then out to meet family for Sunday dinner. Now we're back. I've got my feet up on the couch with the newborn laying on me and I just want to chill for a little bit before bed time starts.

But he won't piss off! He won't shut up and stop chatting absolute rubbish. I've even said to him that I'm a little tired after all we've done today but he just sits for 10seconds and then starts again!!!

He's always like this. But it's been highlighted more with the summer holidays.

JFC bring on the start of school.

Please tell me I'm not alone!!

He's been talking about the babies hair, and how hair grows for the past 5 mins 😐

My friend was telling me about her ASD son the other day.

He's 25, but lives at home and follows her around the house talking 'at' her like a toddler, but a toddler with a full grasp of politics. So instead of 'when will it be lunchtime and what will we have?' she gets 'what do you think will happen when Brexit takes effect?'

I'm not sure which is worse...

As my friend calls it... it’s verbal diarrhoea.

The number of times a day I say ‘I’m right next to you, no need to shout’!

I have one of these. I just want to sit quietly and read the paper. Instead we are discussing unicorn names. Or rather she is keeping up a unicorn naming monologue and I am occasionally making agreeing noises and pondering when I can switch the telly on for her.

I feel your pain! I also have one who can't shut up. He is a bit better now at 11, but still can talk for England. His latest trick is to say "Love you Mum" when he has run out of things to say. It's very sweet, but then I have to say it back, which gets a bit much after the fifth or so time in a row.

Apparently I was like this as a kid but I was so fucking bored. We lived in the middle of no where with no other kids around and my parents were busy all the time.

Wish I had that level of energy now though
