""it does baffle me" that her husband enjoys getting the children so excited, she says. At times, she adds, "I have to leave the room. It's such an intuitive thing, to not want to tolerate the sounds of your kids screaming.""
They tried to over formalize and "other" it with games I've never heard of. I got my kids all wound up and shrieking by playing traditional tag, peekaboo, hide and seek (hide and go boo is way funnier)... and my wife hated it because good luck getting a swarm of screaming little kids to take a bath 5 minutes later or go to bed or pretty much obey anything their mom says until the adrenaline rush wears off.
Once they get older and start playing among themselves, I want to leave the room once they start screaming too, that noise can just be annoying unless you're participating in the game.
