To want to throttle women who talk their kids in REALLY LOUD VOICES

[bbird1]

in public for no apparent reason. It's just bloody annoying. Just pipe down ffs!

"You dont own this thread. People can post what they like an if they feel the need to explain why they talk to their children loudly that is fine.
You can still carrying on laughing at those who are just showing off. It needed spoil your fun.

I have a child with SN who require a lot of verbal managing when we go out. I pity the people who were on the same bus as us on at the moment he guessed we were on the way to the Dr Who exhibition. We were on that bus for 40mins and I didnt stop talking to him for more than a few seconds."

- I'm sorry - I don't know why I find this SO funny!

please forgive me.

Exhausting is the word for it Animation.
If you think it's annoying, just wait and see what happens when we stop talking....

dontcallme She does sometimes say in a reallyfuckedoff exasperated

voice "not that one again".We always have a chorus of Singing in the rain

when we get to the Wine aisle, she knows all the words and we're in that aisle

hours quite a while.

It was funny. I didnt tell him where we were going to avoid this sort of thing. He is getting older and wiser though so he clocked on because he had his full Dr Who rig on and let him bring his best sonic screwdriver

"Exhausting is the word for it Animation.

You do a great job and I love you all.

Haha! I love your DD! DS has taken to hijacking my ipod... He had a full blown paddy earlier after finding out I'd taken the tangled soundtrack off, so he couldn't sing along...

There was one occassion where Mum had left me out of the trolley and half way around Somerfield, I stood at the end of the aisle and left her walking along singing Chim-chimery... 23 years later, she hasn't forgiven me

dontcallme You seem very together and level, please tell i havn't left her

traumatised.Oh God, i,ve ruined my baby, trying to look like an

engaged mother,whilst really checking out the two for a £10 on the old vino!.

dontcallme We love tangled ha!

Gosh, the OP is a charmer.

Yes, there have been a few amusing annedotes but the thread moved on when the parents of children with SN posted - not because they were offended but to inform and educate those who might not realize that some parents are not trying to show off their children. They are trying to keep them calm and focussed.

It is not about the "professionally offended" getting huffy, but about seeing someone who is loudly parenting from a different angle and having some compassion for that person.

at Pag.

Anecdotes

Fecking iPad.

Oh no, Mummissinghermind, I just have a lifelong habit of trying my best to make my mother look neurotic... DS now does the same to me

And yesssssss! Can we start with Mother Knows Best? I think EVERY child should live by that song title

How did I miss Pag's post... Pag... ewwwwwwwwwwww!

And agree with Mme...

Jaysus, this has all turned a bit . Like to think Mmelindor that i

am quite able to sense/see when a parent might have a DC with SN,and to

understand why they may have to talk in a certain way be that loud or

otherwise.

As for compassion don't think i need educated in that emotion, you either

are compassionate or not.

Was at soft play today. There was another mum talking at her 10 month old literally as follows, without a breath or a smile. Oh Edwin, clap clap clap, let's do it again, clap clap clap, don't eat the ball, clap clap clap, isn't this fun? no, don't eat the ball, it's diiiiiiirty, clap clap clap - Rosa, are you ok over there? Clap clap clap. I swear she did not take a breath. Then when I started to talk to her, all she was interested in was how close together in age my two girls were, and seemed put out when it was quite alot closer than her little darlings. Then she left because Rosa (who just turned 3 a couple of weeks ago) was not doing as she was told. Great day was had by all, I am sure!

' i am quite able to sense/see when a parent might have a DC with SN'

Do your Spidey senses tingle?
Are you always right? How do you know if you are not?

I read the OP as being light-hearted, the thread keeps trying to go back to light-hearted, but the focus keeps being put on children with special needs when it wasn't about them and I don't want to get into a discussion about that subject again. There are pretentious-performing-parents about, I see (and hear them) all the time, I think most of us have endured them at some point. That's what the thread was about, I thought.

I do this loudly and without pausing for breath when I know something has caught the attention of dd and she is about to make a loud comment like "Has that lady got a baby in her tummy?"

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe - you are right, it was light-hearted but as I said earlier, has been hijacked by parents with special needs. I think a lot of them have .

sorry, shitty bollocks, I meant issues

goblin please don,t tell everyone bout the powers.

I don't always know i'm right, i'm not a paediatrican or educationalist,however

i do try not to judge and allow the thought to pass through "well perhaps loud

mummy/daddy needs to be loud because xyz"

I do often think some of the parents have SN tbh.

Yes - I agree. I don't want to get into a discussion about that subject again either - it's supposed to be about pretentious -performing-parents. Yes, and I see and hear them all the time in Sainsburys!

Yes I thought it was lighthearted too. I even joined in gleefully.

Then I saw the 'fuck off' post and changed my mind.

It IS possible to have a laugh and listen to the views of others.

My first couple of of posts were light hearted until I read what some of the posters have been subjected to by people who obviously don't have special SN sighting powers.

Even though the more serious discussions, there have been funny comments. I don't see why we can only have light hearted OR serious threads.

And I have neither a child with SN nor . But I have learned something from this thread and find it a shame that those who are seeking to help others understand that challenges that parenting a child with SN brings, are being berated as killjoys.

I wonder sometimes firstmrsD, should be able to have a laugh,be slightly

irreverent, self mocking,but it seems utterly impossible at times. I was enjoyi

ng this tread.Anyhoo have resolved to howling singing with the dd we must

be most annoying fuckers mother child combo going.

There are parents who talk loudly to their kids to just show off, and yes they are ridiculous. They deserve to have the pee taken out of them.

I am one of those parents of SN children that have /issues ?? We are just putting across our own experiences as sometimes it can be hard to tell apart the "show offs" and the mums that are just trying their best.

Nobody else has got nasty, just you bbird

It's a public forum.
