My kids are too loud

My kids are 5.5 and almost 4. They are so loud all the time. They start the day at full volume and it is like that all day every day. I have tried rewards, time outs, telling them gently, but they are just so loud all the time! My older daughter loves to hum/sings as she does things. It would be cute if it wasn't constant and so loud! I have taken to keeping headphone by me and putting them on for a bit when they are playing together to try to block out some of it, but they are loud enough that I can still hear them going full blast.Part of my issue is that I am having a bad month for anxiety. I am not talking to my mom because she is undiagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and she did some outrageous stuff. My dad is trying to pressure me into talking to her and I am holding firm. I am finally coming to terms with the abuse in my own childhood. I was a very depressed child, but I am realizing just how bad things were. The constant noise is wreaking havoc on my nerves because my parents were always screaming at each other and us kids. I have been managing okay, but when I am constantly saturated with noise I can't even hear myself think.My husband does help. He does take them out of the house for a bit, but I am still with them close to 12 hours a day and I can't get a break. Tomorrow is my birthday and all I want is peace and quiet. There is no way to rejuvenate because as soon as they are with me again it continues.It isn't fair to them that I am this stressed, but it isn't fair to me either. I just want time without the kids being on top of me and demanding every second of every day my little one is constantly wanting to be on top of me. I know it is because she loves me. I love her too. But I have no space. Nothing in this house is just mine anymore. If I go to eat they either want what I have off of my plate (even when they have their own) or sit right on top of me and complain that the food smells yucky (it isn't even smelly food, they just complain about it). I just want my own space. I don't know how to make it better. In September. My older daughter will have full day kindergarten and my youngest will have half days 3 days a week, so I will get more time. I love them so much. They are amazing kids. I don't want to sound like they are monsters. They are just being kids, but I need a way to catch my breath. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2yqx6n6
