The sound of children. I absolutely detest hearing those banshee wails.

    not me. not a problem here. even a toddler with a tantrum in the grocery store -- the noise doesn't bother me... it's the horrible 'parenting' from their 'adult' that often accompanies it that does.

    This type of attitude seems to be becoming more common and it worries me about the general acceptance of having children when birth rates are already falling

    (Nothing against you, it's preference)

    I see both perspectives.

    Before I had kids of my own, I couldn't stand their noise. I was irrationally angered by their behaviour.

    But now being a father of 2, I'm totally the opposite. I can listen to kids shriek and screech all day and it doesn't bother me at all. I think it's a biological thing.

    Im a parent and it really depends. I still connot stand to hear a baby cry. A child of about 5 or 6 was getting bloodwork absolutely having a meltdown, you could hear very clearly from the waiting room. I was on edge the whole time.

    I have more patience for it, more empathy for the parents (just because a child is having a hard time doesnt mean the parents are shit), I still connot stand it though.
