It's better, but I can hear it still and about once a week so do the kids and they get up painfully early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387636 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:07:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2387636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is such a clomper (stomper). He is SO LOUD on the stairs. He doesn't do it intentionally, it's just how he walks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387631 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:06:14 +0000 Ajsmommy 2387631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: DH gets mad when I ask/tell him to be quiet too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387628 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:05:32 +0000 nana87 2387628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, I only slam doors when I'm annoyed ;) but dh is pretty quiet, though sometimes his voice gets really loud without him noticing, we think because he went to lots of concerts in his teens/early 20s.</p> <p>We both cringe around our parents though. My dad's sneezes are SO LOUD it is absurd, and he gets so defensive about it. And mil always wears shoes inside, and usually heels--she is so loud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387622 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:04:02 +0000 mrbee 2387622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: teach me your ninja ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387618 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 10:59:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 2387618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: right? he claims he is being quiet! when I was growing up, my dad had to be out the door between 4-5 am and we never heard him - he was like a ghost! which was impressive for a ranch style, small home. so that's how I am - I excessively and slowly turn doorknobs, lightly run water if needed, walk lightly etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387616 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 10:59:07 +0000 Alba4 2387616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha!

When I was pregnant with my DS I had crazy heavy footsteps too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387614 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 10:57:49 +0000 mrbee 2387614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: wait why does he get mad? he's the one being noisy!</p> <p>i feel guilty all the time about my footstomping, door slamming ways!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387611 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 10:56:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 2387611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. omg. mornings are painful with me holding my breath til he leaves the house. slams cabinets, doors, heavy footed, blasts the sink, cereal bags and bowls get banged around..it's insane. and he gets so mad when I ask him to be quiet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387599 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 10:48:42 +0000 lilyofthewest 2387599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the slammer, my partner is the stomper. I can hear sweetie walking in the (carpeted!) basement level when I am up on the 2nd floor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387450 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 09:15:16 +0000 mediagirl 2387450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahahaha. My husband calls both my daughter and me elephants when he hears us upstairs. Neither of us walk softly. On the other hand, I can never hear him when he's upstairs and I'm down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387435 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 09:01:57 +0000 bushelandapeck 2387435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to the foot stomping! I am forever annoyed by this, especially when the kids are sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387400 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 08:06:20 +0000 FaithFertility 2387400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny DH is a huge foot stomper you would think he weighs 300lbs when you hear him on tile </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387397 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:58:09 +0000 gracecat 2387397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, neither of us are but strangely, my MIL is! When we stayed with her for 4 weeks with our 4 month old DD, we CRINGED whenever she was up and about while LO was sleeping. How can such a small petite woman be SO LOUD? She's otherwise a wonderful person though, but just this one thing. Hahaha, we were such touchy first time parents at the time too. *Bang, slam, crash!* I laugh about it now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387395 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:53:53 +0000 Ajsmommy 2387395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HA this is funny. I am a door slammer on cars and DH gets so mad but I swear it's bc I had a 2 door car forever and the door was bigger and heavier so I am just programmed to slam them!! DH is a heavy walker and it drives me insane!! I can hear him from upstairs and so can DD. He also paces when on the phone and it's the WORST! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-an-accidental-door-slammer-andor-heavy-footstomper#post-2387392 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:47:15 +0000 mrbee 2387392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying so, so hard to be quieter... to have quieter footsteps and to close doors quietly. I don't know why, but it so hard for me! I will close a door "normally" and then hear it slam... ugh, I don't know how I came to this point. You'd think it'd be so easy to change, but even now I semi-slam the door at least half the time. And that's with me making a massive effort!</p> <p>Is your SO an accidental door slammer (or a heavy footstomper)? How about you? </p>
