Before I had kids of my own, I couldn’t stand their noise. I was irrationally angered by their behaviour.
But now being a father of 2, I’m totally the opposite. I can listen to kids shriek and screech all day and it doesn’t bother me at all. I think it’s a biological thing.
Im a parent and it really depends. I still connot stand to hear a baby cry. A child of about 5 or 6 was getting bloodwork absolutely having a meltdown, you could hear very clearly from the waiting room. I was on edge the whole time.
I have more patience for it, more empathy for the parents (just because a child is having a hard time doesnt mean the parents are shit), I still connot stand it though.
I see both perspectives.
