That raucous laughter? Yes, that’s from my crew.
The exuberant squeals? Those, too, are definitely ours.
That delightful chaos? Well, you guessed it—it’s all us.
This joyous noise belongs to me, and I have no intention of apologizing for it.
The lively sounds emanating from my three spirited, often messy, and occasionally runny-nosed children fill our home and echo in other spaces, whether we’re at your place, the grocery store, or a bustling restaurant. We bear no ill intentions; we simply can’t help but express our joy and enthusiasm. And honestly, why should we?
There’s nothing to apologize for. Our noise represents life—a vibrant, happy life that we are nurturing together. It signifies growth; my kids, my partner, and I are all engaged in a constant learning process about one another and ourselves. It embodies bravery; I fervently wish for my children to have the strength to voice their opinions and passions on any topic they truly care about.
To the untrained ear, our noise may come off as disruptive or even disrespectful. However, let me clarify—there is nothing disrespectful about love. What you’re hearing is the sound of me loving my children, my children loving each other, and their appreciation for the world around them. You’re witnessing me instill in them a sense of compassion for others.
Children are meant to make noise. Their sounds—the joyful giggles, the curious inquiries, and every expression of their emotional spectrum—are vital and should be celebrated. I will not apologize for our noise, and if you’re a parent, you shouldn’t either. To those who find our family’s volume bothersome, I suggest you start making some noise of your own. You’ll find it drowns out our sound and brings you more joy.
