« Last post by Petzbreeder on Today at 12:39 »My mum talks too quickly for her brain to catch up!
What she does is she puts together the first half of what she plans to say in her mind, and says it while she starts putting the second half together.
Before her brain can properly put the second half of her sentence together, she is finished saying the first half. Annoyingly, the first half of her sentence typically ends with an "or" or an "and", so she just stops mid-sentence in a stupid way.
As you might expect, the people she is talking to will typically ask "Or what? or "And what?", and then she complains because she hasn't finished talking yet.
She will also sometimes ask two questions at once with contradictory answers. For example, I'll go back to the "Do you have a drink?" thing that I've discussed before.
She will ask "Do you want a drink do you have a drink?". She expects me to give her a single word answer.
I'll sometimes answer "Yes no" or " No yes" depending on the order of the questions and the resulting answer, and then she asks "Well, which one is it then?" which really annoys me.
There are other times when she asks me to do two different things at the same time, and sometimes two contradictory things at that. If I do the first thing she asked, she is annoyed because I didn't do the second thing she asked. If I do the second thing she asked, she is annoyed because I didn't do the first thing she asked.
What can do I do with her to make her aware of these things? I've tried to do something about it before, but she keeps saying that I'm being rude.
