[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 439485, member: 6705"] :hugs: I so know how this feels. Onyxx would sometimes go on and on and on and on and on... I just wanted to relax after work! And Jett will do it too. I believe in her case it was a manifestation of mania in the bipolar. In Jett's case - he wants attention... The problem is, he just wants to talk about video games, which we won't do, because it is an obsession and we have no clue because we don't play those games. Or he will babble on about a cartoon when we come into the room - no, honey, I didn't see that, so I have no idea - and he'll REWIND stuff to show us, so we can discuss. Eee. (This would be OK with current events, but Phineas & Ferb?!) I've given up trying to read a book with him in the room - he will pester and pester until I have lost count of the number of times I have read a sentence. I like Lisa's idea of room time - it isn't a punishment, it's a calm-down time. And WO's quiet game... Jett loses this one a lot... LOL! [/QUOTE]
