[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kids are such light sleepers that they cannot sleep while adults speak in a normal indoor volume and walk normally in the house, you shouldn't be hosting visitors.[/quote]

Pay attention. READ the thread before you comment. OP was initially being sarcastic in reference to another thread. She later wrote:
"But, I have had visitors who don't have small kids who do make *a lot* of noise late at night, walking heavy footed with hard sole shoes on the wooden floor, banging the bathroom door. My kids wake up at 6:30am/7am normally, and then the adults complain that they wake up too early."

No one is actually saying tiptoe and whisper, but yeah, adults need to be mindful and courteous when kids are in bed. There's a difference between normal conversation and loud laughter/loud story-telling, getting carried away and boisterous. There is a difference between normally closing kitchen cabinets and literally slamming cabinets because you're looking for something at your sister's house, and you're a bull in a china shop.

Other guests and hosts alike should be considerate when kids are sleeping.[/quote]

Why are people so freaking pansyish?  If you know someone well enough that they're a guest in your home, TELL THEM they're being too loud.  Especially if they don't have kids, they don't realize it and aren't used to the crazy lengths those of us with kids go to to keep them asleep.  "Hey bro, Johnny's sleeping - can you be a little quieter? Nobody wants to hear him hollering at 2am, KWIM?"[/quote]
