Guest guest Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Greetings from snowed in MA (and last week I saw daffodil shoots coming out of the ground!), Last night we were snowed in, so I decided the family would watch a movie and eat brownies for fun. The movie was Klute. My son decided to play computer games and my daughter, husband and I were watching the movie. Then it started. Dd with OCD started asking question after question. It drove me CRAZY. My patience wore thin. Often she asked the same question to dh and to me. Sometimes I think she asked because she couldn't follow the movie. Other times I think she asked just to hear herself talk or to get us to say " yes " or " no. " Anyway after a certain time of getting more and more mad because her talking made it impossible for ME to follow the plot and hear the dialog, I screamed at her to SHUT UP! Of course, she didn't. Later I screamed at the top of my lungs once (just a shriek, no words). An evening that was supposed to be fun, turned into her calling me " mean " and me feeling like an awful mother. Me thinking that if this was OCD behavior I should have answered the questions and just rewatched the movie by myself another day. Do others of you have trouble with watching movies with an OCD teenager? Does this sound like an OCD thing? Advice on how I should have handled it?
