So, I have grown up, with my mothers side being extremely loud and all chatting at once having many conversations. I’ve almost always been quite quiet and chat very little as it’s hard to put my opinion out there. I’m 23, female, if this information helps.
Now that I have a 7 month old baby, it’s all too much and overwhelming. I just want to scream and tell them to shut up. It’s like none of them understand that lowering your voice is the key to having good conversation and making others included as well. Plus, their house is very warm and small and everyone’s voices echo too.
I’m writing in the washroom, my mom has my son, and I just want to cry in discomfort. It’s too much and I can’t take it. It was even harder to put my son for a nap compared to the norm because they were all so loud, even from several rooms away. I love them to bits, I just can’t stand hearing how loud they are at the moment and I feel overwhelmed.
How do I keep myself sane? How do I not break down from the loudness?
