I love my kids, but holy cow!! Especially my 7 yr old. I was in the kitchen cleaning up dishes and turn around and there he is, just watching me!!! I sit down at the computer and his is staring over my shoulder. Where ever I go, there he is. He does not want anything. I don't think he is lacking for attention either! I always knew I had Mommy's boys, but this is getting rediculous!!!

It's happening here too. The part that really gets me is MY morning time. There isn't any anymore. When the boys were in school, I would take the first half hour to sit read the posts and have my coffee. Now they chirp at me the whole time! I'm still glad they're home, my I'm looking for a place to hide too.

my ds does that too! he just sneaks up behind me and stands there. finally i get the feeling that someone is watching me, i turn around, and it scares the holy crap out of me! and he thinks its funny! he is sooo quiet you don't even hear him!

Oh yeah, my almost 8 year old DD does this. My mom is going to have a talk with her because everytime we try to talk on the phone she tried to interrupt a million times or is constantly underfoot and my mom is sick of it.

Ok, can't find edit for some reason? Also I've taken to using the bathroom in my bedroom and locking the bedroom door when I go in because EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the bathroom she ends up having a 'crisis'.

I feel the same way! My dd watches every move I make. Then she wants to know why I did something. "Why did you look at your finger, mom?" "Why did you move your head like that, mom?" "Why did you sigh, mom?" Ugh, it's driving me nuts! I wish summer vacation was over already!

LOL, for some reason i am thinking of that Chuckie doll from the movie.My kids have been pretty good this summer so far.....but......i know that summer is not over yet!

I feel this way every time my rear-end hits the toilet seat!!!! I swear there is a silent alarm that sounds when I go to use the toilet. My kids can be outside, inside, at the neighbor's house and I sit to potty and here they are!!!!

Oh I know that feeling all too well. My kids have radar that tells them exactly now is the moment to have a crisis or bug mom for anything b/c she is in the bathroom. But all is not lost. I found the solution to my problem, and now the bathroom at least is mine to enjoy in peace.

I did a study and found out that if I locked the door, a major crisis would erupt.
If I just shut the door and didn't lock it here would come the knocks just to ask a question.
But if I leave the door wide open NOBODY comes to bother me. I can literally sit there for hours and no one comes to visit. Same applies if I want a shower or to take a bath. Everyone carries on as if mom isn't around.

But this only applies to the bathroom. I am still studying what it takes to hide out else where in my home. Would you believe my older kids have even gone as far as to call my cell phone, which I always have in my back pocket to find me. That is so sad!

On a more serious note, I have discovered that at least for my 4 yo dd that the stalking is just her way of making sure I am still here. She is so insecure anyway, but this girl will go to another room and hollar to me that she loves me. If I don't answer she starts to get a little upset. And comes looking for me.

My mom constantly reminds me that tis better to just enjoy it for now, for someday those same kids will be grown up and gone and you will have the peace and quiet you so desperatly wanted and then what? .......well for starters I might be able to hear myself think for the first time in............I can't remember.
