That no matter how much I love them, my DC's would jusup for 5 minst shut

[AlisonDubois]

They just seem to talk from 6am until 10pm every single day. Do they not get tired of talking.
God, how I long for 5 mins where I haven't got 3 DC's all shouting 'muuuum at me!
Even when I'm taking a shower with the door locked they manage to get in and tell me to get them a drink! Why don't they ever ask their bloody father? Why is it always me that gets the earache?

Or is it just me being completely unreasonable?

I only have the one and I often say "Stop talking now DS, I am going crazy".

Tell them to get lost when you are in the shower.

Do you not remember that contract the midwife waved in front of you when you were about 9cm dilated? That was the contract that denies you the right to peace or privacy for the forseeable future - you really should have paid more attention .

yanbu

no i feel a face the spainish inqisition every day

BTW, am not pissed up, just got a PC with a mind of it's own so excuse the header.
Just feel so tired all the time. Seems like they are all wanting something from me all the time. All I hear 16 hours a day is muuuuuuuuuuuum.
DH went out tonite, I feel a bit under weather but can't go to bed co DS1 still awake....talking.
I tried to watch TV but heard nothing as he is currently rambling (to himself) about the football on TV.
Just want some peace!!!!!
Don't like to tell them to go away as it seems so mean.

It's the two of them taking at the same time I can't cope with. Just a wall of unintelligible noise. And why do they have to be so bloody LOUD! I'm right here, I'm not deaf, you don't have to shout at me!

yanbu ds (6 this wk) asked to stay up and watch 101 ways to leave gameshow last saturady.. Spent the entire hour talking through it and then at the end complained it was fun but he didn't understand it and watched it again on iplayer on Sunday. Did say listening to whats being said is usually a clue whats going on

YANBU at all! My Brother in Law looked after DS (4yo) for 3 hours on sunday and my neice was with them (Shes 16yo and doesnt really spend much time with ds) when i went to collect him she commented on how her ears were hurting as a result of all his talking! It really made me all I could think was 'try having it all day every day love'

I absolutely LOVE DS but my god, i do get sick of the sound of his voice sometimes!

Oh God...supposed to be taking DS1 to cinema tommorrow and I just KNOW he will not watch the film, will yak all the way through, then ask me who and what the film was about!

Anyone with 3 chatterbox DCs deserves a medal in my eyes.
I only have 1 (DS, 2.9) but he talks non-stop & asks endless questions from the moment he wakes til the moment I put him down to sleep. Even then, I still hear him babbling away to himself before he nods off.

I still have a playpen, and I sometimes pop him in it with his toys and go and sit in the bathroom for a few minutes, just for a bit of peace & quiet (I know, terrible). Otherwise I think I'd jump out of the window.

If I'm reverse-parking the car in a tight spot, I have to say 'Please be quiet for a minute 'cos Mammy's concentrating and doesn't want to crash the car'. He will usually be quiet for about 15 seconds, and the silence is so deafening that my ears ring.

AlisonDubois - I am totally with you on that. It drives me nuts!!

I'm just trying to imagine 9 YO chatterboxing gold medal winner DD1 times 3.....

Although she has just started to say 'I'm talking too much aren't I Mummy?' so she's getting the hint that she doesn't have to say everything she thinks out loud

YANBU.

It's like one of those zombie movies when I go to the toilet. Bashing on the door and moaning and hands waving round the side.

Not the first time I've said it but "Roll on September!!!!"

YANB at all U. DD1 does not shut up from the minute I get the first wail of "mumeeeeee" from her room on waking, until she passes out mid rendition of twinkle twinkle at night. I am absolutely dreading DD2s first words

YANBU.

My three (4, 6 and nearly 8) talk all day.

If they're not talking they are singing. Loudly.

I love the fact that they are always making up games together and playing imaginatively rather than sitting glued to the TV... but sometimes I wonder whether the children that sit glued to the TV might be a bit quieter and tidier... and generally easier to live with!

Roffle- I get 'mumeeeee' all the time too!

They do it because they love and rely on you - the more they love and rely on you the more they talk at you.

Alternatively, it could be because your DH is useless at doing the things you do so well (even if it is just getting them a drink).

I have 3 DSs that all use 'school/nursery' voices (ie loud).

And DS2 (5) took a while to talk, now he asks endless questions and does not stop talking. DS3 (3) chats about everything, with 'look at me, mummy' or 'watch me' being favourites. DS1(9) gives me running commentary about the military assault he is about to make/already making .

Its just bad cos its the hols. The other day, my neighbours must have heard me bellowing that I was going to change my name from Muuuuuu-uuuum as I was fed up with hearing it every two seconds. Its not just you and no, YANBU!!

love the heading - just about sums up my brain after a day of them talking too!

Peltor Kids Ear Defenders

We bought them so we could take ds1 to a fireworks display without him losing it, but - ahem - they fit adults too.

Muuummeeee! Muuummmeeee! Why are you sitting at the pooter with my ear-things on? Muuuummmmmmeeeee why aren't you answering? Muuuuummmmeeee can't you hear me?

YADNBU My personal favourite - "Muuuuuuuuuummy," after me trying to ignore for a few minutes and then I go yes to be told "oops I forgot". I have a very vocal 5 and 2 year old and another on the way!!! Running commentary on everything especially my driving "why is the car making that noise?", "have you stalled again?"!!!

LOL!!!!!!! at junkcollector.

I am currently childminding FIVE CHILDREN PLUS MY OWN!!!

And yes I am on MN: one is asleep and the other 5 are tied to the couch in the lounge in front of the telly, with threat of being banished to the basement if they do not leave me alone for 5 minutes to finish a hot and not warmed up hot, cup of tea.

I also have the minded kids at the loo door doing the zombie thing - junkcollector: that was fucking funny!!

and no no no no no no NO I definitely do not swear in front of my child or anyone else's!!

Oh dear: tea is finished. Back to the wailing mob

OP: YADNBU btw.

Than God it's not just me.
Suppose we should all be grateful really that they are all healthy and capable of being noisy...some are not so lucky.
Bless em really (especially when asleep)

I thought i was the only one, my three dc's also do the mummmmmy thing ( to think that i couldn't wait for dc1 to call me mummy).
They absolutely drive me to distraction and i've been known to hide in the airing cupboard to escape from them.
What really pisses me off is when i am having a shower and they come and ask for something to eat despite the fact that their father is in the kitchen, i just feeling like
screaming 'GET LOST'.
