to tell my dd to shut up

[nametaken]

she doesn't stop talking (she's 11) from the minute she gets up - we all have to hear what she dreamt about (yawn yawn) to the minute she goes to bed.

She must think she's the bees knees, I'm sure she thinks she's my sole reason for living.

She goes on and on and on, interrupting my conversations with friends and my other kids. I wouldn't mind but she never says anything interesting! It's all so mind-numblingly boring!!!!!

Am I being unreasonable to say

"for god's sake shut up"

I would say to DD pipe down, let someone get a word in edgeway etc, when she was that age. Never Shut up! Think this is very rude to say to anyone.

Shame you think she never says anything interesting to say. You need to have a chat with her about her listening skills, taking turns in conversations and such.
