“So what’s a parent to do?”

Get used to it! Speaking as a mother of a 5 and 9 year old, the noise pollution gets louder and multi-faceted.

We have karaoke machines, television, video games, computers, wrestling, arguing and crying.

Now I know why my mother had pharmaceutical help when she raised me and my brother and sister.

I have that laugh & learn puppy that my daughter recieved as one of her first x-mas gifts, that thing is so sensitive…u barely touch it and it goes off - and yes it goes off by itself, even though I’ve turned if off.

My son had this Barney who was on some sort of time-delay. If you played with him and then stopped, like a half an hour later, he would do that nightmarish giggle “Hoo-hoo-haa-haa, Let’s Play!”

The thing was freaky.

Then we had a lights and sounds Elmo toy for my second child, which was about 4 inches tall and it was buried at the bottom of the toy box, so sometimes something would bump up against it and make it start ding-donging “Jack and Jill” and we’d have to dive in and dig it out, or it would never stop. The batteries in that toy must’ve been made on some other planet though, because when my second daughter was born six years later, we found that toy in the toy box and it still worked!

My third child didn’t get too many electronic toys. We finally learned better.

My daughter had that toy, and it IS annoying!
