I'm using my son's reddit account because I don't have my own. I (44f) have a daughter (9f) who has ADHD or something. I tell her all the time. She's always whining and crying about things being too loud and noises I can't even hear. Her room shares a wall with the living room, where my husband (51m) (not her father) likes to watch TV. She obviously goes to bed quite early, being a child, and that's when my husband likes to relax and watch some television. Just normal volume, might I add. But every night is a BATTLE. She complains that she can't sleep because the TV is "too loud." I told her to just put her fingers in her ears or sleep with a pillow over her head. What she really needs to do is to get over it. I have to stress that it's REALLY not that loud, but my other daughter felt kind of bad for her. AITA?
UPDATE: I'm literally crying. Thank you guys so much. I'm actually the daughter, and the son. I'm a 29 year old trans man writing this from what I can only imagine was my mom's perspective 20 years ago to young me. I'll write a more comprehensive update when I've collected my thoughts. Unfortunately, this is real; it was my life every night for ten years until my step-dad finally got headphones. I've tried to paint her in the best possible light because that's how she always paints herself
