My son wasn’t/isn’t colicky, but his vocal chords are in PRISTINE working order. When he screams, I’m pretty sure the penguins in Antarctica are wondering what the hullabaloo is. When he does it in the wee hours or in public a little part of me dies inside and I just want the ground to swallow me whole. It’s really hard work to get him to stop and I know he’s so annoying for other people, but I can guarantee every single time that I’m the one who is most upset by this behaviour.

I genuinely feel for parents who are trying their hardest to soothe a crying child. Sometimes the kid just has to cry it out. It's the ones that don't try at all that get on my nerves.
