Do you hate loud noise from children?

I don't particularly like the sound of screaming children, but I don't hate them for it.

Yes, loudness from kids bothers me. I annoy my husband a lot when I snap and yell at the kids to be quiet.

The loudness of children is one of the primary reasons why I dislike them, the other reasons being how demanding they are and how filthy they are. I am mystified as to why some women want to be mothers.

Little ones, no. Some teenagers, yes.

Quick banging of things being dropped ie a factory, car honking, or a dump truck going through my alley. startle me. Then I say ah. One time I returned a back pack to a homeless guy, he got pissed that his friend stole all his stuff. But didn't even express gratitude for me coming all this way to give it to him. I should have just told him to stuff it on the phone. He breaks his CD in fustration. Then I screech in a high pitch voice. ah.

Loud children grind my gears. If I become a father I hope they won't run around screaming too much.

I do get annoyed when little kids cry so freaking loud (at a higher sound intensity) at the top of their lungs, but I never show my frustration in front of anyone at all. I recall my little cousin and her mom (her aunt) stay over at my place once, and during the middle of the night she was crying so loudly and aggressively that I had trouble sleeping. She was crying for 2 hours and her mom did everything she could to comfort her, but she wouldn't stop.

Loud temper tantrums from toddlers always worry me. If I'm standing near a screaming toddler, I get so worried and worked up that I feel like either storming away, giving the mother abuse for putting it near me, or screaming myself. But I know that none of these will do any good. I'll just embarrass myself.
But as the scream reaches a volume what is too much for me, I literally feel a pain of panic and irritation in my tummy, which is so bad that it makes my whole body want to have a massive fit and makes me want everyone around me to know I am frustrated. But I have to fight to stop it - and my frustration is so strong that I actually loose a bit of weight from fighting it.

That's why people must never bring kids near me what are likely to scream. If they are going to be good and sweet, then I won't worry.

Having children was the last thing on my mind, in fact it was my husband who was busy saying "you could be pregnant", I was in complete denial. Then when the news came in that I was pregnant babies became my special interest and I guess I just coped, The noise and the demands can be hard and the thing that I find most difficult is the constant companionship. However love conquers all and I know it sounds a bit old hat but they really do make life meaningful.

I was not surprised that almost all the posts find screaming children hard to take. What I find interesting was how many posts that declare a desire to never have kids. I was glad to see that I am not unusual among those here in that regard.

I had the same thing this spring. My husband and I got through having sex and he said to me "Maybe you're pregnant" and my words were "No I'm not." He said it to me a few more times and everytime I said I wasn't because I felt normal. Then in the last week of April I noticed my period never came yet and my boobs were starting to feel sore and I felt more tired and the fact my mood had been different because I lost interest in chatting so I stopped coming online and I grew bored of this place and stopped coming here a lot and the fact I felt I was walking on eggshells. So finally in May I took the test and it was a big fat positive. I realized maybe that was why I had been more tired during that month and why my mood all of a sudden changed. When I told my husband he said "See I told you and you didn't believe me." He was the one who suggested I take the test and I did about a week later.

I don't think I was in denial though because my periods had been irregular and I felt normal so I didn't think I was pregnant and when I looked on the calandar and saw my period hadn't come in 28 days, that's when I noticed. Also the fact my boobs had been sore for the past week. Then I took the test four days later.
