Dad protects his peace by DIYing noise-canceling bumpers on the kitchen cabinets when his family refuses to respect his rule to stop slamming the doors: ‘I hate loud noises’

Families make it hard to find true peace and quiet. 

Although every parent loves the tumultuous nature of their chaotic houses, relishing in the pitter-patter of little feet, while dreaming of a kitchen full of guests, every adult equally relishes silence. Ahh, the soul solace of unencumbered silence cannot be matched, but for many parents, whose lovable children, boisterous cousins, and close-knit aunties n' uncles are always around, silence is just as intangible as it is delightful. Alas, a balancing act is born in every household, especially when one family member can't stand the noise.

A dad cherished his chillness, but because his wife insisted they cheap out on their kitchen hardware, cupboard door slams made his post-work mood far from tranquil. Without the soft-closure hinges he dreamed of, each family member's culinary adventure was broadcast loud and clear to the whole house. And after a long day in a noisy workplace, this man was just looking for some quiet at home. 

When nobody respected his wishes, he took matters into his own hands with a few handy dad moments, some cleverly placed foam bumpers, and a specific goal in mind: a hushed household.
