The listening constraints have been lifted

I don't know about anyone else, but living in a busy house of five (3 teen agers) along with all the associated sports and school activities, I find precious few times that I can turn up my rig to the levels I like to. Today my wife and girls are at a wedding shower, my son is at work, I'm home alone! I just threw in some Keb' Mo' and turned it up so I can enjoy it throughout the house. Sure there is yardwork to be done and cars to clean (not to mention the honey-do-list). Now, I enjoy my family immensely, however, it's "me-time" and the listening constraints have been lifted, I'm a happy man!

Anyone else live with "listening constraints"?

I can't or shouldn't listen loud when my wife is home, but I find if I turn up the system she realizes she has some shopping to do.

I'm in the same boat,my friend. Timing and patience is so important to find that "me-time". Hang in there. Family is always top priority, but since they love Dad so much, they'll allow you your "me-time" from time to time. Best wishes. Enjoy your family and music system in that order.

Depends on what I'm listening to...actually most of what I'm listening to has constraints. Every once in a while I'll get a "Why doncha turn it up?", but not often enough.
