Technically not my kid but I'm marrying his mom so close enough.
He never stops making noise. Whether it's talking, babbling, screeching, squealing, squeaking. The only time this kid is quiet is when he's asleep.
It wouldn't bother me so much if what he said had substance but most of it is just him repeating what people around him are saying which makes having a conversation around him infuriating.
I don't hate him for it because he's 8 and has undiagnosed adhd but I've definitely fantasized about throwing him out of a window once or twice.
Almost identical situation and age. I signed my boy up for karate to help him form some self control, along with discipline and respect, help him quiet his inner mind. Honestly, aside from trying to spar with me half the time, he's much improved. He probably just needed an outlet for all that energy.
Long distance running.
My son was like that when he was little. Now his new half sister is exactly like that too. It's hilarious (because I don't have to put up with it!)
