So if I'm sick of listening to ds talk constantly and I love him, school will be sick of him in a week won't they?

I feel sick constantly this week. After 5 weeks of ds 24/7 I am sick of the constant relentless talking and questions. I'm desperate for a break. But the thought of him going back to school makes me feel sick. We've moved him to an independent school and it feels like our last chance to get it right. (he's only 6, I know I'm overdramatising but that's how it feels). Eurgh
And I lost my wedding, engagement and eternity rings yesterday :(

Oh no poor you :( tbh I'm sick of dd1 rabbiting on constantly with pointless questions I've answered dozens of times before!!! Bring in the return to school

The school will have tactics for dealing with it if he acts in the same way there.... which he may well not

BTW - read about your rings, and couldn't think of anything you hadn't (did you check down back of sofa's etc?), but it did make me jealous of your tidy house

I had cookies - I tore them into shreds looking for lost rings! Will find cake and a cuppa. Ds only allowed 30 mins screen time a day otherwise he becomes obsessed. Am currently enjoying the last 15 :)
He will scream when the computer turns itself off though.
School seemed brilliant - much smaller classes, more difficult and more interesting work and a mature experienced teacher. They say they've had a lot of kids with aspergers before but I suspect they are used to kids who are withdrawn and struggle socially rather than ds who is very vocal. We will see.
Dd starts school too and I will miss her sooo much.

Poor you, you have my sympathies. My DS1 (11) is exactly like this and can get to the point where I really want to cry.

We have a 'no talking to Mum when she is on the toilet' rule in this house, and that gives me 5 minutes to recharge my batteries.

I remember this phase. I smashed a glass jar once because i was just so fed up of the constant yatter. I just put it down on the worksurface a bit too firmly. Wait till they become teenagers and then they won't tell you anything and your previously chatty child becomes monosyllabic. I remember i just used to zone out. He can still witter and make massive assumptions about things but its not as bad. I don't think your DS will go on so much at school, but you might grt twice as much when he comes home!!!

I am a cow bag. He has spent the last 45 mins setting up a playmobil game to play when his friend arrives and reading where's wally, hasn't spoken to me once.

I have a talker - he makes my ears bleed. Even his brothers ask him to shut up - they sometimes struggle to shut it out as it is quite loud (think Brian Blessed in a rage!)
I know that if it is quiet in my house:
He's so entrenched in a computer game that he's forgotten where he is
His mouth is full
He's listening to a very adult shouldn't be listened to conversation
He's seriously unwell
He's not in the house (or vicinity - garden and neighbours I can still hear him)
He's up to something I shouldn't know about
So all in all, as he loves school, I will be a happy bunny for the peace and quiet I will get from next Wednesday. Apart from the walk home - when it starts again

Oh no! Your ears bleed because you are the only one listening. School have at least 20 peers he can offer an unique experience too, as long as he varies it every, say 40 times

Can't honestly say I often listen It depends which of his favourite topics he is talking about.
I have an angel at school. Just the occasional telling off for chatting or shouting out. They send home his alter-ego 'richter scale boy' most nights!

DS2 talks all the time, even when on the toilet, in the shower/bath, playing a video game or DS game, even when in BED!!! and he expects answers as well! He talks so quickly that it's truly hard sometimes to even understand what he is saying.

He is like this in school as well. The only time he is not is just prior to meltdown. So quiet is like a warning bell here.

I can imagine how you feel.

With regards to the rings, hopefully they will turn up. My husband once found his in the salad crisper!
