Actually they are very loud.  ALot&#8230; most of the time.  Is this normal?  I wonder what someone walking by thinks of the decibels coming from our house?  <\/p>\n<p>Sanj was in the basement studying and commented on the noise of our household.  Actually he complained about it.  He was funny is his description of the sounds&#8230; describing a banshee sound (that would be Max) and all the other yelling and probably laughing.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan talks loud all the time.  Maybe he needs his hearing checked.  (hum&#8230;..)<\/p>\n<p>Max has a banshee screech when he is excited and hyped up.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary yells when he is losing a battle.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler and Sammy are just loud.<\/p>\n<p>is this normal?<\/p>\n<p>I was in the grocery store today&#8230; the boys (4 of them) were antsy.  The lady behind me says, &#8220;It does get better.. 4 boys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said&#8230; &#8220;Well I actually have 6.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Well that was the end of her conversation with me&#8230; she and the lady behind her began&#8230;&#8221;Well poor thing&#8230; I at least had a girl somewhere in there.&#8221;  blah blah blah.<\/p>\n<p>Where do I go with this?  My boys are busy, very active and loud boys.   What am I going to do?  Get rid of a few?  Try a muzzle? Shock collar?<\/p>\n<p>I think that they are normal.   If there was 2 of them it would seem sane.  Normal.  But that normal level of volume is multiplied by 6 .  Nothing is normal.  Everything is amplified.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so lonely.  I wish there was another mom of 6 boys that I could bouncy this off of.  I have no normal.  I feel so often we are own walking  freak show.  Look at that family!<\/p>\n<p>I have to cling to what so many older than me have said.  Boys are hard work now.  They get easy.  Girls are easier now.. they get harder.<\/p>\n<p>I love them so much.  I feel bad when I am driven to crazy.  Today it is a good thing I have my crazy pill.<\/p>\n<p>We are going out to supper.  Then it is a early bedtime for everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My children are loud. Actually they are very loud. ALot&#8230; most of the time. Is this normal?
