    Default Crying Babies

    There is nothing worse than settling down to get ready for work in the early hours of the morning, only to hear that the individuals below you have their baby cryin again, for the umteenth million time, and the sound is coming straight through the bathroom floor when all you want to do is do your dooty in peace. The rest of the place is pretty sound-proof though.

    Another thing is, I wish it wasn't instinctual, as a human, to hear a crying baby and turn your head. It's because we are a social species that group develop children, and we all want to fix the problem because a crying baby to our brains is never good.

    Topic: What do you do when there's nothing you can do about crying babies?

    I make threads condemning children all across the world.

    If it's a kid I know or am responsible for, I make it stop.
    If it's a kid I don't know and am not responsible for, I drown out the noise somehow.

    I don't have this happen in my own residence though, so I'm lucky in that regard. Buy a place with a thicker floor.

    It's only the bathroom floor that I hear it through. But I feel like the kid is always crying whenever I am in there.

    A'yo dig paupz, maybe you were the jerk that woke the baby up when you got up and dropped a ten pound duce, son.

    Ugh, how does TtR do it?

    Anyways, no, I enjoy the sound of crying babies - not in a sick way, but it brings me back to when my children were little. Nothing is more admirable than a bond between mother and child, and the crying just embodies that feeling for me.

    I wonder the cause:

    Most babies cry because they need something; a burping, food, warmth, a caress, diaper change, or they're ill.
    Some babies may be choleric and cry for no apparent reason.
    In some rare cases there's abuse.
    In other rare cases some babies cry because they're mom was a drug whore and was born with the addiction and now has to suffer the withdrawl.

    Boldly go.

    He's got the black in him.

    Everything that has nothing to do with my world, directly, I tend to ignore. This includes crying babies.

    Fortunately, I've learned to ignore such sounds. Unfortunately, the amount of screaming children has multiplied at work during my shifts since last year.

    It depends upon why the baby is crying if it bothers me or not.

    One of the reasons I can't stand babies crying is when parents don't give their infants/children something to chew/suck on while on an airplane and they can't re-pressurize their ears and cry the whole flight.

    I set fire to their house

    Fire solves 100% of all problems. Find me a problem where fire isn't the cause and/or solution and I'll show you something that's not really a problem.

    the guys in the room above mine were dropping a golf ball on their floor repeatedly, so I asked them very politely to stop and they did!

    If only I could do that with my roommate and her tv.

    There was a little baby in my room a few days ago, he was a little older than that, so he wasn't crying, but he was very cute and shy and I gave him a sticker and I think he liked it

    I'm almost glad my sister won't have any more babies (although I am infinitely angry she and my brother won't give me any nieces) but I guess her kids never were very fussy at our house. Or maybe I just don't remember their babyhood very well.

    When there's nothing I can do about crying babies, I try to ignore it, but that never usually works for me. So I end up focusing on it and being distracted by it for as long as it's going to go on.

    I hate babies.
