Wild, crazy children!!!!

[Mummyoftwoplus]

My children are ages 3, and 5.

Both are absolutely crazy!!!! They run around constantly, fall over, fight, argue, shout and scream!!! I just can’t get them to ever chill!!!

I have just bought a reward chart as thought this may help with their wildness, make them listen but I’m not getting anywhere!!

they never ever stop talking, even at the same time! Sometimes my eldest is talking away at me and I’m not even there!! I’ll be in the toilet 🤣🤣

don’t get me wrong, they are loveable, clever, well-behaved in school, polite but god are they wild!! I keep saying to myself that they are just happy, but they literally never sit still 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it just my kids that are like this, or are there others?

as when i see other children, they seems to be nice and quiet and chilled whereas my two are running wild! 🤪

I have to add, I take them out as much as possible to burn off the energy!!! But they still seem to never chill!

both go to bed between 7:00-7:30, and wake around 8:00-9:00. Without any night wake ups!

Yeah, it's normal

They're all wild

Mine were quiet but both myself and DH are also quiet. Whether it’s nature or nurture I don’t know. Probably a bit of both.

I could have written that!!!

Mine are 7 and 8 and wild as ever !

The constant talking .. usually at the same time quickly and loudly is exhausting 😅

See, I thought about this too… I’m quite loud in nature, and can be wild too! My husband also talks a lot, but he’s more chill!! Maybe it is a bit of that 🤣

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed so much talking in all my life. I feel as though I’m in a room full of 1000 people, not myself and two children 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm very quiet ... I get very easily overwhelmed by all the madness! Especially the constant talking!

I take myself off a lot for snippets of peace but they hunt me down within minutes!

Literally 😅

Yep, I've got two of those as well (8 & 4) they're Wild from the minute they wake up until they go to bed.. running around, jumping off of things, dancing, climbing, singing, and the talking! Non. Stop. Talking.
I have absolutely no idea where they get it from 🙋🏼‍♀️

😂

I’m sure me and DB were like that as kids when he wasn’t annoying me and when I wanted to be quiet. We were on the go a lot and spurred each other on, he was naughtier than I was but anything that could get a reaction we did it. The one thing we didn’t do was scream much as DM didn’t like that but I was constantly yelling “Muuuuummmm tell Carl!” as he’d irritate me when I was playing and follow me, I once did it even when he wasn’t annoying me and he got yelled at or hit.

Parents must have the patience of saints. If their children are quiet I’m sure they’re sedated!

My DNephew is like this too, it’s like someone’s pressed the on button and placed the Duracell Bunny’s batteries in him as he literally never stops talking, play fighting with step grandad, rolling on and over settees in both mine and DM’s house (not at his house!) and yet when he wants quiet to watch his tv we have to be quiet. 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it!!!

I forgot about the constant singing!! One of mine wakes up singing!! The first thing I hear in the morning 🤣🤣🤣 makes me laugh!

Mummy look
Mummy look at this
Mummy are you looking
Mummy look at meeeeee

DS2 is like this. He's fifteen next month and it's still going on! Ranges around the house tapping and drumming on every surface, talking, singing (any register from basso profundo to operatic soprano), clicking fingers and literally bouncing off the walls. Now it goes on late into the night. We walk him miles and he's a great drum kit player but it doesn't stop him randomly knocking on doors and windows when you least expect it.

Sorry that's probably not what you want to hear.

😂😂oh goody!

That's my whole life! It never ends!

I had my child same time as neighbour. Mine was bloody wild and theirs was like a well trained robot who did absolutely everything that was asked.
It was very weird, but goes to show it's not parenting style always, but the child.

Mine are 2 and 5 and also like this at home. Outside the eldest in particular is actually quite quiet and much better behaved. I hate being at home with both of them as it's like an entire herd of elephants is at home or something, the noise and mess is absolutely unreal. I feel like I'm constantly telling the 5yo to quieten down, every word or sentence that comes out of her mouth is either yelling or screeching or whatever. I don't understand why she talks SO loud. But she doesn't usually do this outside of the house so clearly she does know how to use an appropriate volume of voice just feels the need to be fifty decibels louder at home all the time. Sometimes I have to wear nosie cancelling headphones for my own sanity and I always put the radio on when I'm cooking to drown out their noise a bit.

We took ours on a ferry today, sadly the railings were too high to chuck myself off. Our two year old screamed her head off unless we looked at things so closely we were essentially putting our eyeballs on it, at one point this was every new carpet tile for about five metres.

Our son has always been really really well behaved, so we suspected our daughter would make up for that and be a double bugger.

Ours are 4 and 1 and the noise is deafening! The loop earplugs I bought are bloody useless. They're not even quiet when they're in bed. The 4yo laughs in his sleep!!

Aw I love this. We grew up having to be so well behaved and quiet and polite. I think freedom to be wild is great. I hope if you ever get judging eye rolls you just stick your fingers up ☺️

Mine are like this and are 2 and 5. Great kids, love them to bits but it's non stop and it gets on my nerves and I get a bit snappy with them. Mine are also awake from 6am and don't go to bed until 8:30pm. ) Any tips on how to avoid being snappy would be much appreciated!

I think there is genetics to it. Mine are preschool age but absolutely mental and incredibly defiant. Will do the opposite of what I've told them just because. It is infuriating. But my DH regularly points out that I don't do as I am told. If someone ( anyone) tells me to do something I will automatically do the opposite. I'm lucky to work in a role which is very self directed.

My 3 kids are all loud and chaotic - you notice us when we enter the building. I’ve loved lively kids. There was a delay at the luggage last year after the holiday and mine were completely feral after sitting down for so long . I was looking over at another family of 5 whose kids were just standing waiting patiently pondering my parenting choices🤣

Yeh, my two were whirling dervish's, then they turned into teenagers and I now need a flipping crowbar to get them out of bed!
