to not ask my DD to quieten down

[humptyhump]

This has happened on a few occasions now.
My DD can be quite noisy when we are at soft play/activity centre, she is very vocal in her playing, squeals and screeches when she's excited etc
However my friend who I usually attend the places with (with her DS) always makes comments on how loud she is, sometimes she says it in a jokey way 'oh your so loud haha' and other times she makes comments on how she's got a headache
AIBU to not tell my DD, we are at play centres surely this is the place where she should be allowed to let off some steam and have fun without a bossy adult commenting about it
Her DS is just under a year younger and isn't talking much so not much noise from him

point 1 - good
point 2 - good
point 3 - sometimes, depending on the time of day. Middle of day, not prolonged, just occasional, is okay. Prolonged or early or late time, not okay.

LOL. Waiting for people to scroll back and forth matching answers to points.

Or take wine to soft play and as puffs says then couldn't give a crap, scream on kids.

Puds, Triggles has wine and chocolate

Our friendship was great while it lasted...But now it's time for me to move on

I hate long goodbyes

Bye!

Do they serve wine at soft play? Because that could render the whole thread irrelevant.

I shall name it.....Camp crapless! We have beer......join us

triggles come to camp crapless bring the wine and choc

I have a loud child. If I could I'd fit a decibel controller. I hate childish screeching particularly in an enclosed space, mine or not!

It's ok worra i'd have done the same

I came back to see if it was still fisticuffs (handbags wouldn't be very MN) and lo and behold, someone's started talking about wine and beer.

How bloody inconsiderate; I have to be up for a flight at 5.30am!

Set of caahs!

Worra DH is putting DS2 to bed. If we drink fast, we can drink it all before he gets back downstairs.

Cassette the booze is now out. Reason has no place when the booze is out.

I dont think children should generaly be quietened down, however as a mother of a very very lode dd I always encourage my dd tio drop the volume slightly as she is ver annoying when she she screams and shouts and it is generaly agressive and should be discouraged

Sorry boobs we are just to grown up drunk for that.

glass? oh... you mean the bottle?

Cramp Capless it is then

Shelly I read that as you have to be up for a 'fight' at 5.30am

Now that really is taking your MNetting seriously!

Worra

If it was a good P&T parking thread I'd do it!

ooooooh P&T parking thread... happy days... those are fun I love a good P&T thread

If she is louder than other DC's then I would ask her to quieten down. I find some DC's have no volume control and I find it irritating. My own 16 year old DD still has no pitch control and it can be really grating. When she was younger it used to drive me crazy. So for your own sanity I suggest you get her to have some awareness of her screechiness.
So, sorry to say, YABU.

I seriously hope you are all joking? Children should be allowed to have fun, if you can't when you are young when can you! If you dont like noisy children then remove yourself from their vicinity, don't expect them to sit quietly just so as not to offend you. The world would be a very dull place without kids squealing and giggling with joy. Happiness is a wonderful sound, don't try and silence it.

People aren't just talking about normal kids noise though, are they.. it's that awful loud, high-pitched noise that some children make.

It's fucking horrible and it makes my ears feel like they're bleeding.

"She basically stated that her child shouldn't have to leave because other children can just stop shrieking. But it's just not that simple... "

To be fair, the op isn't about a child with SN. So in this case it is that simple.

Anyways, I wouldn't leave anyway, I'd tell her to take her processors off, being a cochlear implant user comes with the benefit of being able to take your ears off when you are fed up of listening to morons.. I envy her sometimes!

Just to add, I am posting this whilst walking, if I fall flat on my face I'm blaming you lot!

FFS, so if you stop your child from squealing and irritating the living fuck out of anyone with working ears, you are stopping them from having fun?

My DS must have a very boring life then as I absolutely do not allow him to squeal and screech continuously.
