Have you got to the stage where as the children do not let you talk to anyone   

Oh my goodness!

My dad gets jealous and needy for attention when my mom talks to anyone on the phone. Especially one of us kids.

we're talking about her mom talking to HER! Have I mentioned in the past that he's an a$$?

I was also brought up like that myself and i have been trying to ensure that my children also learn to respect other peole aswell as letting other people talk.

I have a son of 6 years old with adhd and he is always in full swing of an evening as the medication has worn out and therefore he can not seem to settle let alone let anyone else settle or do their own thing of the evening aswell as at the night time no matter what the time of night is.I have tried all the punishment routine aswell as had training to deal with the adhd and nothing has worked soo far.

Being ADHD doesn't make it easy, that's forsure!

doormouse listen to Tamara below you, my parents taught me to respect others conversations and not but in, why do you let your children rule
you you are the parent, and parents have rights to. it will not hurt your children to learn that butting in is rude, better to learn when little than be an adult who will always butt in on conversations where he is not welcome.

I think that the main reason why my younger son is like that is due to his medication has worn out the evening aswell as the night time so he is then in full swing.As for my other children they see their brother running around and they seem todo the same it is a vicious circle all the time no matter what time of the night it is.I will be getting him more help as now he needs sleep therapist and the adhd clinic have put me on the waiting list for that.

hi hatley,my son doesn't rule me,if he interupts while i'm speaking i make him wait til i've finished speaking,then he can have his say,as jugs knows children with behaviour problems take longer to teach things to,he's gradually understanding,but it takes time

I have tried all sorts with my children and explained aswell that if i was like that when their friends were to come round how would they like it as they also would not be able to chat to their friends.I have also punished them for interupting all the time like not let them out to see their friends aswell as taken things away from them.My youngest son is on medication for his adhd and that wears out in the late afternoon so that do not help so they are getting us an appointment to see a sleep therapist but there is a waiting list.

Lol children but it could apply to both children and husbands.

Yep , I haven't had a privite conversation in 30 years , always one or the other.

Kind of like that lady in the movie "A Christmas Story".. She hadn't had a hot meal in 12 years or so.

sad, ain't it?

I never had this type of problem with my girls that are now 17 and 18 years old but the boys are such a pain and they never seem to sleep either so no matter what the time of the night it is i can not chat to anyone as they seem to play up if i am on the phone aswell as when people come round.I wish they could just give me the time to chat rather than not chat to anyone all the time as it is such a horrid feeling as they get you soo angry aswell and then they seem to do it all the more no matter how you try to correct or punish them.

I have to agree with Hatley here. I was like jugs with my kids but at times it did get a bit overwhelming and in retrospect I may have lost part of me along the way.

On the other hand, I am still very close to them both which I do like, some parents don't have this as the children grow up. So I am thankful.

My son calls me twice a week at least ( Lives in another state but visits me ) and my daughter almost everyday and sometimes 3 or 4 times a day depending on what's going on.

Neither of them ever forgets "Mom" on Valentines Day, Birthday, Christmas, Mothers Day etc.

Oh well, Parenting didn't come with a handbook. Sigh.

I have tried to explain to the children that they do not try to talk to me when i am on the phone as i can not listen to two people aswell as talk to two people at the same time.I also asked them how they would feel if i kept interupting them from chatting to their friends and i have also taken things away from them aswell as not let them out the next day so that they knew i ment i wasnt going to put up with them interupting me.

It is hard when you start a conversation with a person and can not finish it as all the children do is butt in all the time and in the end you just give up trying to talk to the people that you are trying to have a conversation with.I have tried all the punishments and nothing at all works with them.My son has adhd and he is never tired so that do not help.

My children would hand me the phone if someone calls and they would ask me who called only after the converstion . And if I have visitors and it happens that my kids are around, they would politely greet the visitor them walk to their room or do their own thing. Well, in your case your son has adhd so it's understandable. Haven't you tried food supplements for your child, I also have a special child and I gave him any food supplement which I find beneficial for him. There are products that claims that it is helpful with patients that has adhd.

I think you should try to make him understand instead of punishing. may be food supplement may also work.
