Oh and cant i believe it!
My 2nd oldest daughter has the most high pitch squeal that she does when she is annoyed, hurt, upset, wants something anytime really!
I say to my partner how that single noise alone travels through every part of my body and makes me want to literaly explode on the spot! Its so annoying! LOL i call het tapoleena coz shes my little sooky bum.
Its almost as if it has the ability to paralise me we with annoyance :)
Love her to bits

I believe this. :laughing:

Hubby will come home from work and try to discuss things about the house (like the neighbour wanting to replace the side fence and which height fence would I prefer etc) and I say 'lets discuss it later, I am really not hearing you right now!' Because its that time of night and if one of the kids is having a whine about whatever I can't concentrate on a single word coming out of hubby's mouth.
