I don’t know if it’s just me, but my daughter is driving me crazy lately.  It seems she talks non stop and I can’t get any peace and quiet.  I know I must sound awful but honestly I think I am going to pull my hair out. 

This summer will be the first summer that we can’t afford summer camp, and for 9 long weeks we will be together 24 hrs a day and I am wondering if I am going to being to listen to her talk, sing and ask questions every minute of the day.

I am not sure if there is an age when kids go from quiet to non stop talking, and then hopefully back to a little bit quieter?   I am trying to think of all the fun things we can go and do together, so that we aren’t locked in the house all summer, because then I would go crazy.

Don’t get me wrong I love my daughter, she is beautiful and full of energy and she is also a motor mouth.  Am I the only mom out there willing to admit that my childs not stop talking, noise making and questioning me on every thing is a little overwhelming at times? 

Taylor is bright, energetic, smart and out going..She amazes me how she can pick up a new friend any where we go. When we go on vacation and go to the pool, she will walk up to another little girl and say, “hey want to be my friend” and like that she has another new friend.  Sometimes I think its great she isn’t really shy, so she doesn’t struggle to make friends, or struggle to have fun, no matter where we go.

I think I was also the motor mouth in our house, when I was young so maybe she is getting me back for me driving my mom crazy when I was a little girl.  It seems she is alot like me when it comes to being talkative, and also being a tomboy but I don’t think I made friends as easily.

Am I a bad mom for thinking, I wish I could just get a little peace and quiet?  I don’t think so, I think all moms want to pull thier hair out some point, our kids are wonderful but we still need time for ourselves and we shouldn’t have to feel bad for needing space.

I mean I hear my husband say he is going fishing or to play or golf so he can get a little time for himself all the time, I mean ALL the time.  But how often does our husbands think, my wife could use a little time for herself and that they would take the kids for the day, well in my house not very often.

I think every once in a while my husband thinks of having a little daddy / daughter time but more often its me at home while he goes off enjoying himself, while I stay home with the girls. 

So, if anyone else out there faces the same challenges of little motor mouths that make you want to go hide, hit me back and please be easy on me. I am not a bad mom just telling the truth and so hopefully other moms will feel they can share their mommy stories with me, we can talk about anything and every thing.  Kids, family, work, life in general and we can support each other and its okay to tell the things you always wanted to say but felt your freinds and family might judge you on, I won’t judge you for being honest and telling what’s going on in your family! 

So, please join in a let me know, what going on in your life..happy chatting!
