Overload

By ninithel - 02/06/2024 21:00 - United Kingdom - Hull

Today, I'm synesthetic and see sound and get sensory overload. I've got roadworks outside, a big renovation, and a party with lots of kids next door. My kid alternates between screaming, singing, or playing with the loudest toys. I also have a friend staying over who has no volume control. I can't go anywhere else due to disability. FML

Can't you tell at least your kid and friend about your situation and ask them to be more considerate?

noise canceling ear plugs or headphones

Tried both. Politely and less so. I ended up putting them both in the garden. that is until the kid ended up with sensory overload as well. On the positive note it kept the friend occupied. Kids suck at realising when they're being loud. Or that their internal monologue is external. Or that playing with a loud toy in their room is still audible. tldr. don't have kids. they're awful

I can't use ear plugs and headphones would require something playing. :/
