Noise Level

[Indoorvoice]

I CAN'T STAND the loud voices inside... at least with the 2 and 3 year olds. I let them yell and scream all they want outside, but inside I expect them to talk at a reasonable level. After many MANY times of catching myself hushing them today, I'm thinking maybe I'm being overly sensitive to this? I just think it's an important skill to learn how to talk without shrieking, but maybe that is an older skill? What are your rules about noise?

I'm definitely sensitive to sound also. But I also know that their sounds are amplified by the design of my house. Actually last night I added for rugs and curtains to the living room area. And as soon as I have some extra money I'm going to hang some canvas paintings on the walls.
