For me the biggest sound that makes me cringe is a child who whines when speaking.

(cringing as I type because I hate whining)


Everything else I can deal with...just no whining!!

I don't mind the playing sounds. But I do hate whining, yelling just to yell (esp. when I have asked 5 million times to use quiet voices), and tattling! My kids do not really tattle. But I have a friend who watches 4 and 5 year old girls and they tattle CONSTANTLY when we have playdates together. Things like "Johnny touched the couch". Stuff that is like who cares!!!????

the only sound that annoys me is cars pulling up past pick up time.

Kids chewing with their mouths open, intentionally obnoxious loud drinkers, one dcb's play voice which for some reason turns him into a 2 yr old whining girl .

Repetitive sounds, whether it's someone saying the same thing over and over or making a noise again and again. The repetitive thing drives me bonkers.

For me it's the dead silence while waiting to hear the sounds of cars pulling up past pick up time!

Whining, taunting, and just general crabby crying does irritate me. But my first thought when I read the thread title, was I cringe at the sound of paper ripping, especially not sure what the source is and knowing my dd (21mo) is very book curious.

Parents talking baby talk to kids over 2. COME ON! It irks me over 1, but I can give some leeway for a few months. These are the same parents who keep their kids on the binky and still have them in cribs WAY too long (like my dcb who will be three this week).

"Buh-bye bay-bee! Mama lubs you so, so, so, so much!" Cue the kissy noises, 18 thousand hugs, picking a child up who wants to be put down, etc.

And they wonder why their "baby" won't potty train. Ummm, do you want him to be a baby or a big boy because you are sending some seriously mixed signals.
