[QUOTE="Jody, post: 439566, member: 8787"] All that incessant talking will make a person totally nuts. My difficult child would never shut up, just went on and on and on. Sometimes she'd lose track of what she was talking about, and get mad at me, because she said I interrupted her and then she lost her train of thought. Yeah, that was the idea, but she always found something to talk about. This is one that would make me livid. I would tell her time to take her medicine, and she would look at me watching her take it and she would yell at me, as if I were in another room, and say Mom, I'm taking my medicine, and would not stop until i said okay, or something to her. Wouldn't matter if I was standing 2 feet in front of her. I can't be in the car with her long, because she never shuts up. Then she'll want to listen to the radion. SO the radio is blaring and she's blaring. I turn it off and tell her if she wants it on, she has to listen. She just can't do it. The only thing that worked for me was to send myself to a time out. I guess she thought it was cool, that she wasn't the one taking the time out. I needed the time-out from her. I did tell her if she interrupted my time-out then she would get one. Worked some of the time not all of the time. Clonidine kind of helped with the incessant talking. Headphones in the car for her worked too. She wouldn't really hear much of what anyone else was saying and stayed involved in the music. I feel for you. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
