IsabelC Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 A volume knob would do me fine: my Ms 4 gets louder and louder in proportion to how excited she is, with no regard for others' ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's not always girls but everyone seem to has at least one child that needs a mute button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 :iagree: LOL, my 3yr old dd asks 350 questions a minute and is very persistent in getting an answer! Then, when you give the answer, she asks, "Why?" She is hilarious, though. I blogged about some of her shenanigans tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 My 2 yo dd has barely stopped talking long enough to breathe for ther last 3 hours. She even talks in her sleep :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 A pause button would make me happy. There have been times I have actually said: "I need you to be quiet for a moment, please, I have to think about something." Commonly stated when I am lost in traffic...

Tree House Academy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 For the same reason that 10 year old boys don't (come with a mute button). When my older son goes to visit his dad, I ALWAYS, without fail, get that phone call..."hey...where is the mute button on this kid." ROFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 oh, I see you don't have boys. Boy did I wish for mute buttons when mine were younger. I also had this great invention for a velcro wall, and I was going to make my boys the velcro vests. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 My daughter may shriek and scream in a painfully high tone that mothers and dogs are sensitive to, but I swear my son talks non stop. And if he's not talking, he's got some sort of sound track type thing coming from him. They both need a mute button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 How about a "stop being a dog" button. My 5yo dd has been a dog for awhile now. I think she's imitating the 2 Jack Russell Terriers next door! :banghead: Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsrevmeg Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I only have boys. The oldest is quiet. The younger two, not so much. My middle son has this high pitched scream/squeal thing he does that absolutely makes me feel like my eardrums are going to burst. My youngest talks and talks and talks. All.the.time. During school time I have to remins that other people are trying to work too, so would he please be quiet so they can concentrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 My mom used to say that I was the Human Dog Whistle. Girls can be so shrieky. Of course, I can't get through a single minute of the day without my son making spit noises (like a fire engine, or a space ship or something.) Boys making these noises always emit a lot of spit.

TXMomof4 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ugh, I say something like this in traffic all.the.time! Only, you are more nice. I say "SILENCE! I must concentrate." :D I pulled the "SILENCE!" the other day. My 3 yo had been in the room with dh when he was watching the Jeff Dunham show on comedy central. The next thing I heard was "I kill you!" :001_huh: The things you don't realize they pick up. It was kind of funny though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin Learnin Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 My DD9 is an incessant talker. She even voices her thoughts. She's a good listener too though, so I feel I have to model that back. Very tiring at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asta Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 My niece is a talker and her brother isn't. My niece drives her parents nuts. They don't understand how I can spend time with her non-stop and not get annoyed (she is 17). He brother annoys the living heck out of me. I tell them: she just wants to be heard. If you would stop what you are doing for a chunk of time - completely stop - and HEAR her, she will talk less. They say I'm crazy and ask me how I could possibly know that. How? I was my niece. People talk incessantly when they feel they have something to say and are not being listened to. Once they are older than 8, anyway. Prior to that, it's all about listening to one's own voice... :lol: a ETA: Niece wasn't always a "talker". She was downright silent for years and years until mama decided that brother was all that and a bag of chips and niece was "annoying".

BUT, he's also a backstabber and a liar, so I'm somewhat justified. I hate being around people you can't trust where you have to watch every little thing you say. I also hate being around people who are your biggest fan, all the while you know he rips you to shreds behind your back. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Anna Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 It's your dd6, right? I knew it before even opening the thread. My dd6 is the same way. Well, dd6 grabs the biggest share of air time. But dd3 takes up just about everything else. (She's in the interrupting stage.) It's hilarious when we're driving somewhere. Dd 6 looks out the window and keeps up a running commentary on the signs, the street lights, the moon (I'm thinking of an evening drive, obviously), and various imaginative things. Dd3 tries to interject, but keeps being rebuked (by dd6) for interrupting. Finally, dd3 loses patience (after about 15 minutes of this - dd3 is exceptionally patient!) and says, "<Name>, stop talking!! I want to talk!!" And precedes to say two sentences before dd6 takes off again. :lol: I had to explain why I was laughing so hard. Hey - it was a great "teachable moment" - as in "sometimes you need to let others talk, too . . ." But I dread the household when dd4 mo. starts talking . . .

Dina in Oklahoma Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm on the floor! My DH just shakes his head at times. I tried gently tugging my DD's ear as I tell her I'm turning down the volume -- without success I might add. Thanks for a good laugh!

Mama Anna NO STINKING KIDDING!!!:willy_nilly: I think it is even more frustrating that mine are shy around new people and I HATE hearing "do they ever talk?" AAAAHHHH! No one believes me that they never shut up!!! I just resort to "shhhhhhhhhhhh" all day long, hoping that will work :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
