Yessss. I read the subject line and immediately, I feel ya sistah!
It's not so much yelling, though there is plenty of that. He likes to screech, or make weird noises very loudly. I do tell him that because we lice in an apartment we especially need to be quieter. I can hear my neighbors normal talking voices so I can only imagine all they can hear from our house 🙄
I often use the excuse that people in other apartments are sleeping, and he hates it when things wake him up, so we should be considerate. It *sometimes* works.

I know it sounds whiny, but I suffer from daily headaches/migraines and so it really pushes my buttons! I've totally used that excuse with him too. He does seem a little more empathetic knowing it can cause me pain, ha. I'm not trying to be manipulative at all, but I think it's important for him to learn that things like this affect others.

Loud talking all day long! She will literally yell at me to be quiet because the baby is sleeping....yeah until you started yelling kid!

Haha, DS has gotten SO LOUD since DD was born! I don't think it's my imagination that he's gotten louder... he's got this habit now of shouting the end of every sentence He must be picking it up in day care, his best friend there is the same. I feel bad asking him to cool it if he's just having fun, but sometimes I have to!

He knows, but he needs reminded, and often doesn't want to comply. Like last night at dinner, we reminded him to please be a little more quiet (because he was singing Circle of Life at the top of his lungs). He told me, "No, don't say that word quiet!" Ugh. Threenager.

Nope! He's 2 and we've been talking about using inside voice the past week or so. The screaming is ear splitting, especially in the car!
