Sometimes, I just want to be quiet

Good day fellow mylotters, We are plenty here in our home. As the family living here is a set of two. And since we are two sets family here, there are times, the house was too noisy. Aside from the sound coming from the television when somebody is watching, the two kids were also creating noise especially when they are playing. In addition to the noise being contributed when somebody is telling some stories or a discussion was being held. Due to the noise that my ears intercept, I feel so tired to the different sound. And because of that, there are times, I want to be quiet sometimes.

I really do see where you are coming from. There are just a lot of times where many sounds coming right at me, are going to rather going to cause me a great deal of frustration and a great deal of agony. There are just a lot of times where there are many different sounds to focus on and I'd rather not focus on anyone. I remain quiet, because its not like I'd get a word in edgewise. So yeah there are going to be a lot of time where silence is rather going to be something that is going to be rather bliss. There is going to be something that is going to allow me to collect those thoughts. When things get too insane, I just really do want nothing than to really be left alone. At least that is the way things are going to be for me.

I understand what you mean I feel the same. I love those moments (they are so rare) I have the house for me. No tv, no kids, nobody calling or shouting or asking, no radio. I can't stand all the noises either (my son has a problem with that too). I already have a hard time if I hear the neighbours talk. To be honest I don't know what to do against it. I don't allow my kids to watch tv daily and only for a short time and tell them to put the volume low.. the lower it is the less noise they make. the more noise there is the louder everybody seems to speak.

Maybe you can try to go out for a walk or maybe you can drive/cycle/walk to a quiet place like the beach. Try making a beach walk or just walk in the nature.
