Selective hearing (mine)

[Princessperky]

I woke up the other day to the sounds of DDs feet shuffling on the carpet (my usual alarm clock)

I told DH 'we forgot to set the alarm!' (we had an early midwife apointment).

He said 'no it has been going off for half an hour' (meaning 3 snoozes)

How is it that I hear the soft sounds of a carpet but not the obnoxious noise of the alarm! (and since that morenign I have noticed I never hear his alarm, but always am the first to point out one of the kids is comming)

I'm the same way - I can hear our newborn make the smallest whimper - or I can hear our daughter down the hall when she opens her bedroom door. But - the alarm has to be right next to me in order for me to hear it. We used to keep it on the night stand - nope - I wouldn't hear it. Now it sits right next to my pilow because I get up WAY before anyone else does in the house.

I don't know why it is

I honestly think we're all that way
