ScoutTN Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 we get back from the library and the only sound to be heard for an hour is pages turning. :D :D :D When is your house quiet? (Besides when it's empty or everyone is asleep!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bttrflyvld Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Well if my house is quiet, it means my 3 & & 5 year olds have found something really, really cool. this is typically something they shouldn't be in. Lol When its quiet, I get worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My house is quiet when DS is eating or reading an adventure book - he talks even while he is reading other type of books! I get worried if my house is quiet for other reasons - something must be amiss for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Three chatterboxes here...it is never quiet. Even when reading someone is reading out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My house is only quiet when there is no kids here or they are finally asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My kids are asleep and my husband isn't yet. (Man snores like a lumberjack.) :) Exactly. :) I have 6 kids 7 and under. Unless they are all asleep or not here (rarely not here without me), it's not quiet. Though, my kids do love it when I come home with a bunch of "new" library books. The older 3 are generally quiet for a while checking out what I got. It's a nice thing to see. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My younger is quiet only when he is asleep and for a short while if he is playing Legos or doing math. My older is quiet unless my younger provoke him. So for a quiet house, I need my younger to be asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Almost always, except for the one hour a week when my husband has a conference call (it's always a lousy connection so he has to shout). But seldom can we not hear the clock ticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Kids and husband are asleep.. Sorry, that's all I got ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have 5 who are 7 and under. So I don't know what quiet would sound like. I think I would enjoy it. My kids are somewhat quiet while watching an art DVD and completing the project. But other than that - it's only quiet at night, and even then they sometimes talk in their sleep it have audio books playing on their iPods.

dancingmama Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Right now. When hubby and son have left for the day, the animals are still sleeping and the daughter hasn't woken yet. Once she's up, she doesn't stop until she's down for the count. Se even talks to the cat while reading to herself. I can't figure out how she does it.

Mom22ns Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Most of the time. My teens work quietly on school. My dh works in his office with the door closed all day. Dd goes to the gym in the afternoons (she is our loudest family member). Ds likes to spend all his free time reading, writing or on the computer. They listen to music through headphones, ds practices guitar quietly with his door closed and dd plays an electronic drum set with headphones. We are a quiet family and always have been. The only time our house is loud is meal times and when someone is playing a wild game with the puppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 When one kid is away. When that happens, the other one typically finds their own, independent projects to do and gets engrossed. But it's so rare. 99% of the time, if we're here, both of them are here and they're completely in each others' hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Strawberry Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Our house is only unquiet when we are all at the table for school or meals. Right now, dh is napping, I am lying next to him, the two little ones are playing quietly in their room, and the older two are playing a board game.

Peaceful Isle Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It is quiet in the morning, when I get up earlier than my kids and my dh is working. At night as well, if I close their bedroom doors, because some of my kiddos snore :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year Round Mom Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I re-instituted quiet time this year and it's been great to have that daily hour of calmness! Otherwise, as much as my sensitivity to noises takes a beating, I'm grateful when my kids are running around and playing because that means they're not sitting still with electronics, which is the other time when our house is quiet.

AMJ Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 ...when my DH is gone overnight on a business trip, or there's a power outage. He has a 3D printer, and LOVES it. He runs it all of the time. The job currently printing has been running since last night and will likely still be running tomorrow morning. What is he printing? Parts for ANOTHER (larger) 3D printer.... Like the tinnitus, I have found I have gotten used to this. Still bothersome at times, but I can handle it. And he will give a break and not print something if I tell him I need a respite.

(Besides when it's empty or everyone is asleep!) I'm totally counting when everyone is asleep. ;) Why do you think I'm still up and I'll be up again at 5:00? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
