To think all the incredibly talkative chidlren should be rehomed in groups?

[RandomMess]

Honestly it's just so exhausting, I'm convinced dc 4 would be much happier living with a zillion other over talkative children...

So send her to live in some sort of commune with adults who love children that do.not.stop.talking.at.all.ever?

Just remembered my ex-SIL was like this too, but she was worse. If she ran out of something to say she would say "aaaaaaaaaaaagh" until she found something else she could speak about.

She got quite offended when I told her to shut the FUCK up and give your arse a chance.

OMG, yes Snoggle. DS likes to narrate the rules of life to me too. Probably getting his own back for all of my painstaking long involved explanations when he was a toddler. Maybe with the next one I'll just never talk to them and use only rewards and punishment to convey my wishes

Is this the moment where I confess that I was apparently exactly the same as a young child, to the extent that my DM just laughs and mutters about karma any time I complain about the chattiness.

However, I was an early reader and disappeared into books and introversion from about the age of 6 and went completely in the opposite direction. No such luck so far with DD1 though. Maybe DD2 might be the quiet one wishful thinking

I have an 18 year old, so once she's been CRB checked...

"We went to town and I saw Tarquin with Emma and I told him he was chucked and then Lisa suggested we go to Jo's party tonnight so can I borrow taxi fare and I saw this really nice wallpaper so I'm decorating my room next week. Oh, I've got a rehearsal tomorrow and the orthodontist straight after and could you make sure that my top, no not that top, the other one doesn't go in the tumble dryer again..." ad infinitum.

doesnt get any better dd is 16 and never shuts up well in the morning she is quiet but give it till 10am and off she goes , she started talking at 11 months and has not stopped , her sister only speaks when she has something to say but gawd dd2 just says words tbh i tune her out A LOT dd is very good with little children she could look after them all

I've got one of these - now at 13 - less constant chattering but the volume has gone up - she is sooooooooo loud....and sooooooo annoying
She also does repetitive loud singing - on a good day songs from Frozen on a bad day things like 'Ive got a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I've got a song that will get on your nerves and this is how it goes (repeat and repeat and repeat)
She actually has a lovely singing voice - but doesn't use it for this...it is like a rugby song chant - ahhhhhhhhhhhh

On the rare occasions she still has a bath I help her use the shower on bath taps to rinse off* she will spend hours in the bath then when she is ready to get out start muuuuummmmmm, muuuuuummmmmmm, muuuuuummmm - I say ok I'm coming in a minute and she still carries on.... muuuuuummmmmmm - my hands are clawing now just thinking about it ahhhhhhh
*we have a separate shower she uses on her own, the shower on the bath taps is dodgy - tricky to use and if you get it wrong it can suddenly go cold or really boiling hot...so I'm worried she'd scald herself but more worried that if it does it she end up flooding the floor in her haste to get it off her....thinking of telling her to get out the bath and into the shower for a rinse off but that will raise its own flooding problems knowing DD1...

DD comes in from school i have to put the kettle on to hear the gossip DD gets obsessed with things so sometimes it can be repetitive squawking about whatever the latest obsession is ,

You have my sympathies. I had one yesterday, just for a few hours. It was agony (will never complain about my recalcitrant children again!).

we were in alone the other night and just sitting on the sofa nice and quiet dd said Well this is awkward, NO dear it isn't really I was enjoying the silence

Do you also get the completely out of the blue comments that clearly relate to a long train of thought that has happened on some other subject (whilst the stream of consciousness has been spewing on other matters) which is formed as a question but you have absolutely no idea at all what it relates to?

I'll send dd2 to look after the chatty smalls! She still rarely stops unless plugged into music lol

My ds who is 12 never stops talking, I'm actually looking forward to his 13th birthday, I'm hoping he does a Kevin & Perry and resorts to grunts at the strike of midnight.

Dd is a chatterbox too, there was just me and her for the day in the house yesterday, I nearly taped her mouth up!

Ah Sabrina - my 'non-stop-talker* dd even talks in her sleep though - no respite merely because she's catching a few zzzz's !

My DS does singing too.

It would be very cute if he didn't sound like Brian Blessed.

It really is quite a shock when he starts. He's angelic looking you see. 2ft of chubby cheeked, big eyed, long lashed, curly haired, innocence. With the singing voice of Daddy Pig.

You mean to tell me I'm stuck with it for life.

yep are you not better knowing now so you can prepare and learn to tune out

OH

Please, someone take my 60 year old friend off my hands. She can happily repeat the same load of tosh frequently throughout the day, worse if she has been at the gin! Funnily enough, if anyone else repeats themselves, they get "Yeah you told me already". Will loudly talk over you when she has just asked how you are. So you don't really want to know how I am then??

Ever said it was karma may be right. My DM assures me I was exactly the same and I deserve everything I get.

They will hate living together. All my children are chatterboxes and they spend a lot of time shouting things like " shut up loser " at each other.

They don't have the same specialist subjects either. One talks incessantly about the book he is reading -he updates me on the action after every page. It's fascinating

Another loves in mine craft world with stampy. Sigh

He has rather eclectic tastes too.

So one minute it'll be: "jolene, jolene, jolene, joleeeeeeeeene"
The next it's: "red - the colour of desiiiiire. Black - my world when she's not theeeeere."
Then it's: "the cat, the cat, the caaaaaaaaaaat. The cat. Sat. On the mat"

oh he sounds hysterical I know it is annoying, but ...

there was a cartoon I think it might have been TOM and jerry or something, when this little bitty thing was all sweet looking and then they belted out OLD MAN RIVER that is how i imagine your son to be Randall

I can provide my colleague who gives a running commentary of her work, reads emails aloud and never listens to anyone as a member of staff.

woman i work with is a witterer (not a word) she just witters on and on funnily enough her child is really quiet poor kid probably cant get a word in edgeways

It really is.

He's so beautiful, so angelic-looking, but with the voice of a middle-aged, Shakespearean tenor.
