My kids do it too hehe, especially my five year old. She doesn't understand yet that something she does once may be cute, but after the 20th time she's done it within the space of 60 seconds, it went from cute to OMG-STOP-IT-NOW-annoying! :mrgreen: She just sees the initial reaction (how cute!) and wants to get that reaction again...and again...and again...lol!
I agree, that it could have just been the number of times. As a non-parent, I have low tolerance for children. And everyone I've talked to said they felt the same way until they had their own. So perhaps she's just in my group or just gets easily annoyed is all
