I don't need to hear your opinion or you repeating what the film/ tv has just said my little darling

it is driving mummy bonkers and I was hoping this phase would have been done and dusted by now.

I know you can't help it.. But please we are all trying to watch the film and would like to hear it!

Carrot, do you feel after a while like your head is spinning and a 'stress' headache starts and you just want to scream 'SHUT UP' . Felt like that this afternoon. Our friend, who himself has Aspergers, asked me if my DS listened to anything anyone says, because he doesn't follow instructions. Welcome to my world.

Could be worse.
Ds is having an Indiana Jones obsession at the moment.
There is only so much singing of the theme tune I can take!

Oh yes I get the head spinning thing..

I am currently being talked at and for some reason being used as a climbing frame... Which is fine barring the fact that he is as big as I am...

Mind at least he's not in a melt down :) ... Nor singing Indiana jones :o

PersonalClown - don't ever buy the indiana jones whip. Each time it's cracked, it just plays a short refrain - then starts again, and again, and again....
Of course, if you want me to send one to you, i would be more than pleased Grin

Bet none of you have had the word Deal or no deal repeated in your ears for a whole 3months?? What do u want for dinner son? Deal or No deal (in Noals actual voice) =D xx

:o

Oh I love it when ds repeats in the actual voice ..:) ( well for the first time.. Not so much when it does a duracell battery.. Goes on and on and on).

Weirdly ds hasn'tever picked up our now local accent.. He has lived here for 6 years.. The other dc's have picked it up.. But ds has kept home accent.. Barring several words that he has heard for he first time from 'up north' family, or the TV/films etc.
If he hears it he repeats it and that accent sticks!

I think I could cope with it being repeated because it doesn't interrupt - if you know what I mean, but I get the opinion and random questions...

there's nothing worse than being sat watching the bit in Gray's anatomy where it's all sad and tense and you get asked why they're doing that and then told really loudly what they should be doing, ruins the moment so it does, rofl

though maybe the deal or no deal thing might be worse, lol

It is weird the accent thing. My DH is from Yorkshire, and my eldest has a yorkshire twang - but has only been on visits. My other 2 speak propa saff lunden! Well not quite that bad, but i do have to remind them that the t in butter is compulsory!
But DS1 has managed to keep saying bath, instead of barth and castle instead of carsall. Weird

DD is still going through the repeating stage...now she says what she wants me to say so I do the repeating! Confused She still does the film repeating but has finally stopped calling us by Mickey Mouse names. Grin

Im a Yorkshire lass :) and DP is Scottish but somehow DD is mostly American!
