I love my dd3 to bits. She is such a little character, very funny, mostly well behaved although we do get plenty of typical tantrums and tears too. But my god she is FULL on. From the moment she wakes up til the moment she falls asleep she doesn’t stop talking. She wants to be around me or talking to me constantly. If I pop out of the room to put some washing on she’ll follow me. If we are in the car she will relentlessly chatter.
It’s got to the point where I will sometimes just zone out at the mummy mummy mummy’s which makes me feel guilty but I genuinely cannot respond to every single thing she says!
She goes to nursery 3 days a week while I work and I do enjoy our days off together but I just crave a bit of silence and me time occasionally. Dh is ok but she always wants me because he’s at work and she spends most of her time with me.
How can I encourage her to just play alone for a little while? Just so I can get stuff done!
