Oh I didnt/dont even get THAT. I get HUH? and she does it on purpose, she heard full well what I said.. but it's huh... i say it again... huh... i say it again.. HUH... you heard me ava.. then she laughs
Our DS (3) has been saying "huh?" ALOT when we talk to him, at first we thought he had trouble hearing or understanding what we were saying, until we realised he only said it when we said something he didnt like, it's his way of ignoring us grrrrrrr. Our conversations are something like this "Ok mister time for bed" "Huh?" "Time for bed, c'mon!" "Huh?" "Time for bed! Let's go!" "HUH?" AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
So very irritating, I am hoping for your sake as well as mine that it is a phase!!!
thanks ladies, good to know i'm not alone... still its driving me up the wall !!
Serenity - did the ignoring work? it does for us SOMETIMES, but other times he just keeps saying what did you say until we repeat what we said and then he will say it again grrrr..
sometimes we don't even finish what we are saying before he says what did you say ... just don't know what to do, i can't ignore him forever, somethings gotta give
My DD says exactly the same all the time 'What did you say' a million times a day. I am amazed that someone else has the exact same thing. I even considerded getting her hearing tested!!
I have found listening to myself, that is what I say to her when I don't understand or didn't hear what she said. The other thing is that she used to say "I think" at the end of all her sentences. Something else she picked up from me. That has stopped and been replaced with "what did you say". So I think it is a stage. They just pick up these little quirks in language get fixated with it and then move on to the next thing. So that I don't listen to myself endlessly repeating what I said all day I try to not anwser it, but sometimes its just habit for me that I anwser her.
we have been through this phase (and I wouldn't be surprised if he does it again sometime) and agree that it becomes a game. Depending on the sitaution I usually repeat myself the first time and then might ignore it or say I don't remember or you know what I said etc.... it does pass
Ds was saying huh and i reply with huh then he says paaaaardon!!! so i tell him again and the same process continues now he has stopped..thankfully i just wanted to shout at him YOU HEARD ME THE !ST TIMe..it does pass tho
I get HUH? too. I thought it might be his hearing so I tested it myself. By saying It's time to get dressed. HUH? It's time to get dressed. HUH? In a quieter voice - It's time to have a chocolate. Woohoo.
