ds is just standing watching me

again. He is also gradually getting closer and closer. I have been trying to teach him about personal bubbles. He watches me all the time. I no longer eat breakfast with the family because it is so off putting. Tea time is a trial. I have tried to make him aware of how it makes me feel. Its like a compulsion. Now he wants to do my hair. I know it is all bonding for him but I have spent all day with him and his brother. I am tired of the constancy of it. He has been watching me for 2and a half years. Gotta go. Hes jigging. I used to pick up my tablet to avoid eye contact and to encourage him to entertain himself. Doesn't work anymore. DH reckons DS would live inside my jumper if he could. Just having a wee offload. Thanks.

I feel your frustration, I have been "watched" for 8 years now and have accepted that I will be watched for years to come. I am watched while driving, eating, cooking, ironing and I can see them watching me in the reflection of the TV instead of watching the TV itself...... its really annoying and sometimes creepy!
I hope yours grows out of it but prepare yourself for the possibility it might always be their thing.
If I confront the behaviour they say they are just looking at me so mostly I just leave the room to try to break the staring. The other thing that works is if my Mum comes round and they watch her instead :D

8 years??? 8 years, oh god. I don't know if I can do that. Well I do, I can and I will. 8 years, ooft. I get the reflection thing too. You also say them. I have it x3 but youngest is worst. God love him tho, today at dinner he tried not to. Without prompting from me.
Makes me feel better known I am not alone. Thanks suzylee
