Are all toddlers screamers? Campgrounds full of screaming

My daughter didn't do this. I've got a screaming toddler/little kId on either side if me. It never stops. I'm talking every few seconds, all day long. Regardless of if they'Re happy or not. All screaming all the time.

Is this what all kids do? I wanna muzzle them.

I have 3 grandkids, 2 boys, one 2 years old and one almost 3, and one 'baby' girl, who will be 1 in October. The boys are verbal and active, jumping on the couch has been popular lately (due to Olympics???) but only occasional screaming, and then for something: either hungry or tired (occasionally want to play with something.)

All that sugar in their diet now.

Bless you for only wanting to muzzle them.

Go wild. The parents let them bike the park, so they just don't have to patent at all. It's 9:30 pm and some of them aRe still wretch in away....

when my kids were little camping trips were time to cut loose. for them to run around and me to not have to worry about them.
luckily we were home schoolers and had the flexibility to take them at off times. they often had the place to themselves.

i used to take a week's vacation from them, and always took it in late september or october. nice, quiet, empty campgrounds.

sometimes ya gotta take one for the team.

Kids do need to let off some steam but have some respect for other people.

I work in a store and all day long it is nothing but screaming kids.

It would not have been ok for me scream in a public place.

I knew better.
