Open letter to all within a 50 mile radius
Dear Community Members,
Please ignore the loud shrieks eminating from my residence. Contrary to what it sounds like, I am not torturing my daughter in any way. In fact, if you happen to call Child Protective Services, please have them come and visit me. Perhaps they’ll have some insight into how such a loud sound can come from such a little body. But have them bring earplugs. I don’t need any lawsuits.
Sincerely,
A Deaf Daddy.
P.S. Make sure they knock loud.

Brianna, might just be practicing singing, or cheering or yodeling, or getting ready for Halloween.

Is she your Baby B? Maybe we’ve had this conversation before. But there’s a reason my Baby B is called The Screamer. Welcome to the Bleeding Ear Club.

Maybe this is a girl thing. Tod-lar didn’t shriek. But In-fant — she should be a screamer for horror films. You should see how high people at the market jump whem I’m walking down the aisle with her strapped to me.

This sounds familiar. As I recall Brianna’s mother was very loud and I had hopes that she would be a singer and musician like her mother. Not so, she talks softly, (Andrea, speak up I can’t hear you.) loves science and sports but has nice things to say about the music world which dominates my life.

My B baby (the girl baby) is a screamer too. I’ve just learned to live with it.

Sorry, couldn’t hear you. What did you say again?

LOL.

Just sit tight, she’ll grow out of it.
Eventually
Say, in another 12/13 years. Then you’ll be desperate for her to say something, anything to you:-)
Actually my neice, aged 2 and a little bit doesn’t do tantrums, she ignores you. Totally – if you speak to her, she will turn her face away & pointedly ignore you. I’d much rather have the Screaming, throw yourself to the floor tantrums my LMB offers regularly. At least you can counter those.

Hehe – those were fun, fun times.

My favorite is when the screams from the temper tantrum are when we’re out on the street walking to the store. Nothing like people walking by with one of two thoughts: “Should I call Social Services”, or “Boy, that guy sucks as a parent – he can’t even keep his brat quiet”. I suspect I will have no ego (or shame) left by the time they are teens.

Oh lord. My little one likes to do a screaming melt down in the middle of department stores. I have to pick her up and throw her over my shoulder and make a mad dash to the door. The whole time she is screaming like I am murdering her because I said “No” to a bag of m&M’s. Child has three teeth in her head. She wouldn’t know what to do with them! Meanwhile everyone breaks out their cell phones to call Child Services on the crazy woman in aisle five who is clearly causing serious pain to the poor darling. Why else would she scream so? Why else indeed!
