I LOVE my beautiful dd, she is gorgeous, but OMG she NEVER stops talking!!.... i do actually think im loosing the will to live :O

[CharlotteACavatica]

I have never, and will never say anything to her re her NEVER EVER ending chatter, i dont want to give her a complex, but i have never known anything like it, i truly do not exaggerate - she even chatters endlessley in her sleep too! How on earth do i curb her chattering? is it possible to? Just now:.... "ive drunk my juice, you drink some juice, do you like juice, i like juice, i think everyone likes juice, does that man walking past like juice, i think he doesnt, i think he likes coffee, do you think he likes coffee, daddy likes coffee, why does daddy like coffee? does grandma like coffee?, what about grandad? i dont like coffee, have i had coffee? i think i did once when i was a baby, but, was i a baby? did i drink milk? do i drink milk now? i think i do cos i had some last night when i went to bed didnt i? do you drink milk, does the whole world drink milk" etc etc etc... theres very little if no chance at all to even answer these questions, she just rolls on and on, sometimes i do chuckle at her constant chatter, but there times/days where i feel like my ears are hurting! Is this amount of chatter normal?? She is a few weeks short of 5 btw.

dd1 is like this...she feels the need to fill every second with nonsense...dd2 is so quiet in comparison

HOW do you cope cazzybabs? im almost rocking in a corner here! lol

Sounds normal to me. mine is 5.5 and the chatting is getting a bit less than when she was 4, just a tiny wee bit not much! Now I do have to answer the questions too, and it is much more elaborate . This morning it was about planets and how the earth move but we can't feel it, and some things about other planets moving around the sun... very complex and almost right. also when the planets are sad or angry we get rain and stroms
on and on... I've learnt to switch off for my own sanity as she also ramble in romanian (a language that I don't fully comprehend myself )
But I do find it really cute, and sometimes really funny too.

DS does that and when he isn't he seems to fill the gaps with "why?" and he's recently started to say "Mummy" at the beginning of every sentences

"Mummy. do you want to play with my farm?, Mummy. You play with the dog. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy" i'm going to change my name.

LOL - my dd 4.7 yrs does this too - never stops for a breath .

DS Turned 5 last month. His motto is 'never a thought left unsaid'.

Have you tried playing the 'who can be quiet for the longest' game? Buys me the odd few seconds minutes of quiet.

We had this with ds3

It stopped.

But hes now 9 and its come back with a vengeance where he feels the need to detail every single thing he does with his friends who said what etc etc.

We now say 'is this a long story?' then we know to sit down.........he doesnt take the shutup hint .

I think it is sweet that shes so confidently verbal, but i think the hardest thing is that she doesnt just talk, shes saying things that require a response from me every 2/3 seconds - a constant stream of isnt it? didnt it? is it? why? do i? will i? are you? and so on and so on and on and on and on lol!! if she were just chattering i could just let her get on with it, but i my days are filled with "oh really" "oh" "did it" "i see" "oh very good" etc - my brains going WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

I think its common of early talkers.

I swear Matt came out of the womb saying 'holy crap that scalpel just missed my thigh' in a stewie from family guy way.

he was definitely verbal at a v early age and has been ever since - he even talks in his sleep.

Lol - never a thought left unsaid - EXACTLY IT!!! and no dd doesnt get any 'shut up' hints either, i know she's only 5 but occasionally when ive said oh mummy does have a headache, it might go if its nice and quiet for 5 minutes, id like to think/hope that maybe she would just talk a little less, i know she wont just suddenly shut up, but just an attempt to be quiet for a minute or two would be great! And yes she also starts every single sentence with "mum" im pretty sure im developing a nervouse twitch everytime dd walks into the room!

Lmao nickschick dd DID used to lay around from as early as 4/5 months and squeal and yell and chatter ALL the time, and now dd2 (5 months) does it too! Oh im going to have another gas-bag on my hands arent i???!!

You just have to learn to filter it out, and get her to talk to her toys, in another room. There are moments I think I am going to go mad. ITs worse in the car, when with 3 DC + DH there can be 4 conversations all going on with me. I can cope for about 5 min top.

Good luck from a twitchy mum.

My Ds (5) asks questions constantly. Why is that lorry green, why is that man scratching his head, why did that ball hit the corner flag and not go in the goal, why is my hair brown?

I answer some of them. Sometimes I suggest he might like to try to think of an answer himself before asking another question. Sometimes I say I don't know. And sometimes I tell him the question shop is closed until tomorrow.

We have the same, except I have 3 who never stop talking.

It's horrendous.

And I tell them to stop yacking in my ear. But they don't.

I've started putting my ipod on. Is that bad? I'm desperate.

Lol mayonaise - i dont think thats bad no, i think i may get some chill out music and stick mine on for half an hour here and there! Feels so wrong to complain about our lovely little monkeys, but i cant ignore the fact that all this chatter is driving me looooooooooney!

My dd is now 13 and she still hasn't stopped talking. Sometimes she talks so fast it all comes out in a nonsensical stream of babble.
She just talks for the sake of talking when there's nothing to say. I think she should become a politician.

DD1 was an early talker and talking sentences at 18mths. ie One more cake please Daddy.

Shes 2 on sat and doesnt stop from when she wakes at 630 till bed at 8. Its very very draining!

DD2 is only 9 weeks but already gurgles loads when you talk to her so betting im going to have another just the same!

Great- Non stop chatter in stereo!

My ds is like this - it hurts my brain! I take him out lots to parks or wherever so he can button hole strangers and talk to them. I'm sure that's very irresponsible of me but I need a break!

You're very good. I often say to my daughter, could you be quiet for five minutes, please.

(she might last one minute(

ds1 is 9 and exactly like this. sometimes i do have to say, PLEASE could you just stop talking for a few minutes. but it rarely works for that long. in fact i think i may have posted a similar question to yours on mumsnet about 5 years ago.

he is also currently obsessed with favourites and wants me to tell him my favourite drink, favourite colour, favourite type of paving stone, favourite antiseptic cream (i'm not joking) etc. a few days ago dh pointed out that i don't need to wind myself up further by thinking about the answers to these questions, and that i should just answer them and forget it

Thief. You have obviously stolen my DD.

She is 3.4 and barely takes a breath from the moment she wakes up.

• Mummy is your top pink? I like pink, you don't like pink, you like purple, you like purple don't you Mummy. I like pink and DS likes blue don't he. yes. daddy doesn't like blue, daddy likes brown doesn't he mummy. Do you like brown as well mummy? I don't like brown, I like pink. Can I wear a pink top and pink trousers and a pink dress today mummy , cos I like...

My dd is 4 and most days go like this.

"Mummy I'm bored Mummy I have dirt on my top whats dirt from? Whats a stain? How do stains get there? Did you drop things on your top when you were a little girl Mummy?
What does the washing machine do Mummy? How many days did I stop at the hospital when I was born 1 or 2 did you cuddle me?"

That is a 5 minute conversation I have had just now with her.

I am asked twenty times a day to buy her some leggings,Lelli Kelli shoes and when is September .

on the other side of the coin we have ds2 who says nothing but 'dwink owinge' and 'digger', possibly because he's never been able to get a word in edgewise

My nearly 6year old dd can't stop! I thought it was just here. She talks all the time. I wonder how her teachers cope. In her report,teacher wrote:she will need to learn to listen carefully to her year 1 teacher all the time. Sometimes I tell her mummy needs 5minutes and she says'okay' and continues talking.
I am still trying to learn to switch off sometimes so I do not go crazy...

ladysanders my ds2 said nothing until he was 4.
