I used to do this with my coworkers (still do) but I’m much better at it now that I’m a mom! What I’m unclear about since I am still just a mom to one little, how does your mom hearing adapt when you have kids at different stages in the “hearing” spectrum?

Hilarious! My husband and I had that very same [he was livid angry and I was oblivious] argument tonight. It’s very comforting to know that I’m not the only one. I was beginning to think I was getting early Alzheimer’s or hearing loss! Thank you for this very well timed article.

I can hear when my infant son shifts in his sleep at the other end of the house.

Very true. And going along with Mom Hearing is Teacher Hearing. (That’s also the kind of thing that hears exactly what the kids don’t want the adult to hear.) SO many times I would “catch” my high school students and let them know I was on to them, and then I’d hear them whisper, “How did she hear that?”

It was interesting to read this. I do not have the ability to block it out, and yes, I do have two kids. They both have been taught to be quiet, especially in the car and in public. I have seen (and been amazed by) people who seem to simply not hear their kids. I realize that you are partially just being funny, but you would have to know how many times my husband and I have asked each other ‘can they just not year them?’ to know why I would feel compelled to comment.
