I have a four year old son and some times, he likes to sit and listen with me. If you had only trained you children to enjoy the same hobby as you when they were younger. My son and I will sit and listen for enjoyment, but I do have the same constraint when I need to do a critical listening session. I am however fortunate enough that my listening room is on the back side of the house, so I can listen at a pretty reasonable level after my son goes to bed. I don't have to worry about my wife, after the little one goes to bed, she usually reads at night before we go to bed.
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"?
