to have apologised to my mother for my behaviour

[JackBauer]

as a child?

DD1 witters on, constantly, about nothing. She has a running commentary going from the second her eyes open to about 5 minutes after she goes to sleep (shes a sleep talker, like me). If you don't respond the volume goes up and she repeats the same thing over and over until you do respond.

DH says that I am exactly the same.

I called my mum and asked her if I was like that as a child. She (rather quickly) said yes.

I offered her my heartfelt apologies as it drives me fricking nuts.

I have also apologised for smacking her hand away everytime she put my hair behind my earsas a child because 'it was in my face and I couldn't possibly see' after I cut DD1's fringe because I kept tucking her hair behind her ears.

I have never heard my mum stifle giggles before

Oh god the making friends thing - that's ds too! last night he ended up surrounded by four boys (all at least 2/3 years older than him - 0kay nintendo MIGHT have had something to do with it) whilst he explained to them (I am sure they already knew) how to play the game . Had to say to the mothers, just send him back if he is too annoying!

hi ratty - she?
well, I did get the 'does she ever stop talking' thing fairly often

My parents are feeling the joy at watching me deal with my mini me at 14,she i think is slightly better behaved at the moment...

I have apoligiesed many times for my teenage "don't give a flying cluck attitude"
