Loud, loud kid

Sometimes I hate my nephew. I know he is lonely, abandoned and all that. But there are so many things that irritate me which makes it really hard to live together.

One of the most irritating things is that he is so loud. This shreaky teenage voice and laughter… He never cares that it’s late at night, that other people are supposed to sleep. When he talks with my daughter or by Skype with his friends, I hear it from any point of the apartment, there’s no escape from the sound. Every now and then I jump up angrily, go and say “Quiet!” to him. And he would agree and get quiet for a moment, but forget about it immediately… Sometimes it’s a torture.

Except the voice, his movements are noisy as well. He stamps loudly when he walks, as if his feet are all hard and bony. He tends to drop things or bang against something all the time. It makes me nervous. I know kids ARE inconvenient, but this one is too much…
