Take it from someone with four boys… They get tired. I grew up an only child and had a ton of free time on my hands alone. I spent my youth building models and laying with Legos in silence. I can still work in my garage with something to do for days without sound and I’d be perfectly happy.

I love my boys, but sometimes I still need to excuse myself just to detox from all the noise.
