And along the same line . . .

If that's the post I'm thinking of I think it *might* reference this thread: [url]http://forums.adoption.com/foster-parent-support/353166-how-do-you-deal-talker.html[/url] I don't know what's going on......

Yup. That is one of them. It stuck in my head because I started to reply to it a couple times. Normal maybe, but as my kids do it too, SUPER annoying! :)

I think what some are forgetting is they need to at times look at it from that specific group's thinking. From a foster parent point of view, I can see how a child you don't know well etc. coming to you with all sorts of habits you aren't used to could annoy you with talking. It's not a black and white situation for most people I don't think when they vent about something, and people forget about that too. And then of course as the annoyee stated....sometimes people should think before they post. Not necessarily what they say, but how. Now if people could just get smart?;)

OKay, now having read through the thread... My gosh...don't parents get a chance to just say what annoys them without being seen as whatever? LOL! Man...I'm NEVER going to complain about things my kids do to drive me nuts again. Well, just to you guys. Ain't y'all lucky! LOL!

That is what I found really interesting about the post on the Chit Chat thread about the Talking to Much thread. There are bio parents, foster parents and adoptive parents all commenting about their four and five year olds doing that talking thing. And really reassuring each other that it is 'normal.' My five year old son has been HORRIBLE about the asking repetative questions, silly questions, and down right annoying questions lately, and my daughter gets sucked into it sometimes too. (Attention competition.) It was quite reassuring to me that it is 'normal' as I don't remember my older son doing that. Though maybe I have just blocked it from my mind!

Ok. How did I end up with that horrible red mad face on there?! I didn't mean it. I didn't even put it there! And now it won't go away! I am getting sucked in to the madness! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Right... when pigs fly!

ROFL! Must have been Eli's Ebil Witch....;) When Jacob was 5 & 6 we went through the question and chatter thing. In the beginning it was a mixture of attaching, reassurance etc. However, regardless of the WHY do children do it, adopted, bio, etc. after awhile it drives us all nuts. If someone says it never drove them nuts, they are big fat chicken vat liars.:p Oh here's a funny to keep you from the madness... Savannah turned 11 yesterday and Jacob won't be 12 til the 19th of this month. As you'd expect, Jacob hates it and Savannah loves it that they are "twins" for 16 days. S made some "I'm the same age as you now" comment and J said "I'm still older than you so there". My dh jokingly says "Well, you may be older but your sister is more mature than you." That's when Kyle (9) pipes up and says "That's because Savannah has armpit hair and Jacob doesn't".:evilgrin: :clap: Yes...Kyle is amazingly still in one piece...

Better ask Brook if Eli has seen any flying pigs...:arrow:

he probably put stamps on them!

Oh my gosh! That is great Crick! Lauren and Daniel are the same age for 5 months of the year and it still confuses the heck out of them. Lauren is very perturbed that she is now five but still has to be in four-year-old preschool but Daniel is in 5's. The things I have to look foward to when they get to be pre-teens! :) Going to bed now in an attempt to escape the ebil witch and postage-paid flying pigs!
