Ever been tempted to count how many times a day your name is said?

Sometimes I just want to hide in a corner if I hear my name said one more time!!!!! Every once in a while I am tempted to count how many times in one day my name is called out, whether it be for attention or a request for help, some days I feel if I here my name called from every corner of the house by every child just one more time I will burst. This is a prime example of why nap time is crucial to this job.....even 45 minutes per day of no yelling of my name or call for me to save the day! Will help save my sanity.

Ever play the game where you just say their name back.... "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " "suzzy" " johnny " AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I never win that game.

I have the sweetest dcg. She is almost 2, sensitive and doesn't speak very much. What she does say is my name over and over to soothe herself. She says it in the most loving way I can't help but feel flattered she likes me so much however............. ..it does drive me crazy too.

I HEAR YOU SISTA! It feels like a million times. "Why can't you go play and stop calling me name!" I'm considering a name change and i'm not telling that kid what my new name is! lol'

ha ha too funny zoey! I have one that walks up to me says my name and when I say "what?" he stares at me blankly, trying to think of something to say....he doesn't want anything just wants my attention. sometimes after me asking a second "what do you need?" he'll say...."hi!" aaaaahhhh! so glad tomorrow is friday!

oh yes! And my own kids are just as bad! So, it's all day and all evening! I even tried telling them at one point that if I'm right there beside them, they could just start talking or asking.....skip the calling me part, since it's pretty obvious they're talking to me. This is what I got: Then more of my name over and over and over and over and over.

So thankful that this forum shows me I'm not the only one feeling all the things I'm feeling!

Thank you!

I can't count that high

I used to have a p/t boy that was a "repeater".

Boy: Wha you makin for lunsh?
Me: Some spaghetti!
Boy: Cai have some?
Me: Of course, it's for all of us.
Boy: Wha you makin us for lunsh?
Me. Some spaghetti.
Boy: Cai have some too?

And so on.... All. Day. Long.

I prefer the children who call me by name than the boy who just says 'look at me' all day. He truly has no concept that there are other people in the world. I get called Mom and Grandma a lot too since my grandson was in the daycare for the first 3 years of my business and still comes here occasionally.
