Dear god, DS2 hasn't stopped talking all morning

[MyGhastIsFlabbered]

DS2 aged 7 has been awake since about 6:30 and had not even paused for breath....I love him dearly, but the never ending stream of chat about Minecraft, Roblox, exercise, the dog, the cat etc is just about to drive me round the bananas.

Can anyone sympathise?

I’ve just taken my noisy one out for 5 miles of walking up and down hills for that reason!
He moaned quite a bit of the way until we spotted some cows grazing, stopped complaining as he was quite scared and then piped up again once they were safely out of view
The best bit of it is though, he’s home and shattered and now flopped on the sofa in front of a film AND NOT TALKING.
Was worth it for the silence. I’ve come up and run myself a bath!

Oh dear this isn't giving me much hope for my 2 year old chatter box. He speaks to me from the second he wakes at 6am until bed time. Sometimes in a taxi after a long day I have to tell his just to be quiet for 5 minutes. Today he had 30 minutes of iPad time while mummy took a nap, chatted about Blippi the whole time I was sleeping.

God yes. My ds 2, is very active attention seeking. He finds it difficult to sit still or do anything alone for 5 minutes. I breathed a sigh of relief when he announced he was going out to play with the neighbour kids earlier. He was only gone for 20 minutes.
Ds1 keeps himself to himself, unless he has one on one time with me, then I think he let's every thought in his head out. I love talking to him but he has picked up a really annoying way of speaking, where, if he's explaining something to you about one of his games or something he's doing, or one of his friends, he says everything as if its a question and says "yeah" after nearly every sentence. It makes me want to jump out the nearest window.
I am currently trying to watch the new serious of the good place and ds 2 is jumping about infront of me shouting about John cena and doing wrestling moves. Can't get 5 mins peace. Funnily enough dp has just had an hour long bath with the doorocked and is now in shaving ALONE! We just got home from a week's holiday where I went alone with the kids. I need a break!

I could hold my own in a minecraft conversation, but my son is only 2. He has however said 'mummy' so many times today I am not sure he realises he is doing it. Never follows with a question O_o

Hahahaha this could be about my son. He's 7 and does not stop talking! He uses the word mum as punctuation. Tells me about Minecraft, zelda, games he's made up, things hes doing with his toys. Honestly, I love sharing his excitement but no one can get a word in its exhausting 😂.
He's a cutie though so I'll let him off

I've just counted...DS2 said mummy 25 times in a 5 minute period 😩

coming up with increasingly minute explanations for things like why baked beans are red or why trees turn brown in autumn was bloody wearing

After about an hour of constant " but WHY Mummy?" my answer was usually " let's ring Grandpa, he might know" , my dad has the patience of a bloody saint. Trouble was after the phone call DD would then spend the next 20 minutes telling me what my dad had told her.

After being in under 5 childcare for 40 years. I so feel your pain. Friends don't understand why I only turn the TV on if I actually want to watch something. Only ask Alexa for the news twice a day. I do have audulible books but only listen to them in the car. The silence in my home is just perfect.

Till 3 year old DGD arrives. She can talk the hind leg off a donkey

I have 3 talkative children. When it gets too much I shout 'Quiet game' and they all have to be quiet for as long as possible. Buys me a minute or two of peace.

I recently tested how long Ds3 would continue to talk with only minimal reply. It lasted about 55 minutes with me only saying 'mmmm', 'really?' And 'that's interesting'. Long enough to walk to the bus stop, get into town, into the cinema and through the pick and mix, then into the queue to pay. I then cracked and begged him to stop, to the amusement of the mum in front of us. In his defence, he has ASD, so doesn’t quite get the social cues the rest of us enjoy.

At school, we get a lot of comment about how little he says.

DD hasn't gone 30 seconds without talking at me since my last post.

I've timed the periods of silence, not one of them went over 30 seconds.

Mummy, what's your favourite shopkin? Why's that your favourite one? You can't have that one as your favourite, that's my favourite!!! (Cue upset..)

Then her song 'I love you mummy, I love you mummy, I lovvveeee yooouuu' and repeat.

Mummy, why do the boys on peppa pig wear dresses?
BECAUSE THEY'RE ANDROGYNOUS? I DONT KNOW!!!

It's a good job she's cute. I'm sure she uses my total love for her against me.
'She loves me so much that I can talk and talk and talk until her ears bleed, and she'll just smile '

I sympathise, but not in the context of children - I get my ears chewed off by my 75 year old FIL. Honestly, the man is not happy unless he's talking, they visited the other night and I swear he didn't pause for breath in over 2 hours.

It's loud, overbearing, generally negative and moany, and if you dare add an acknowledgement or try to keep up your end of the "conversation" (like, ooh I know, yes that happened to me, oh yes we watched that too, sort of comments) he gets all butthurt about being interrupted and says you're rude. You also have to maintain eye contact constantly, if you look away (or glaze over) he bangs the table like a toddler or moves to get back into your eyeline whilst talking more loudly.

It's exhausting. If any of my SILs are on here they will probably recognise him.

I've been known to stage an IBS attack and hide in the bog for 30 mins to escape.

I wished I hadn't bothered teaching D's to talk at all.

And do yours do that thing where they get part way through a sentence, get distracted and start again..,this can happen several times before we actually get to the point of this tale. I think DS1's record is 10 false starts.

Totally. DD is 11yo now and would talk from waking up to going to sleep if you let her. It is a relief when she wants to use her screen or watch tv or read a book!

Sometimes , first thing in the morning, I have to ask her to stop talking, because my head feels like it is going to explode.

Sometimes I get her to ring my mum and talk at her for half an hour, just so I get a break from it

My 7yo has a Zelda encyclopedia and dh just bought them all the new Zelda so I've had my ear bent about Link, Moblins etc since 8am. Le sigh

My youngest DS was nicknamed 'Donkey' as in Shrek by his older brothers because he just never, ever shut up.

I have a 21 year old and still the same!!!

I've resorted to clearing out the garage, can still hear him asking his dad where I am XD

Mine used to do this and sometimes I would reach for the (noisy) vacuum cleaner and crack on vacuuming very thoroughly... Sorry darling, can't hear you at the moment....!! Just for a bit of precious head space.

I can sympathise.

I have a 6 year old (and an also chatty 8yo) who does not stop, he talks about anything and everything at length, we get taxis a lot and even the drivers comment on how little he stops!

Right now he’s going on about how his chicken nuggets taste like gingerbread!?!

He can be very inventive and he will not let you not reply to his neverending queries.

@Singlenotsingle that made me laugh out loud.

I have a 12 year old Ds. He's like a giant toddler , never stops talking and bouncing around. It's exhausting, I dread the day, he locks himself in his room....

Mine is the same. He will be 13 in December. And my daughter is 21. Same as ever

Sorry to break it to you but for some, it doesn't stop

My 6YO is like this. We're in the middle of moving house. DH and I are running around like a pair of headless chickens and trying to build Ikea flat pack. But DS wants to talk ALL day.
