Do loop earplugs work?

I'm really struggling with my 3 year old right now. I have a newborn also but tbh baby isn't the issue 🥴 She barely cries unless gassy, so atm we're very lucky for that. However my 3 year old has been so relentless recently (just non stop chatting, singing, asking for things over and over, playing with the loudest toys, leaving mysic playing whilst hes not even in the room etc), which I know is normal and I'm not trying to stop him from talking or expressing himself, but I'll admit it is grating on me. I can just about manage it until he starts tantruming or pushing boundaries, then my patience starts unfurling faster than I can cope with.
I've seen adverts for loop earplugs but wasn't sure if they actually work? Like how can they block noise but you can still hear? 🤔🫣 Maybe I'm being dumb, so I'd wondered if anyone has actually used them for the same reasons and found them helpful? I'm just getting so overstimulated!!

Free stuff?

I’m 21 weeks today and so far haven’t explored any of the freebies. I tried to sign up for one of them but it ended up wanting all my details and I ended up getting nothing. Which are easy and actually worth while?

England game

Just curious, would you be happy for your partner to go out to watch the England v Mexico game tonight at 1am when you are 12 days post partum and still working out the nights together and exclusively breastfeeding? He’s leaving at 10.45 and probs won’t be back until 3ish I’m not sure maybe even longer. He normally does the first half of the night I don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep tonight as he will most likely end up falling asleep when he gets in rather than helping out.

When does it get easier!!!

Parents of older children, what age did you find life got easier? My toddler is 2 and 1/2, everything seems like a fight, getting dressed, brushing teeth, eating dinner, leaving anywhere like the park, tantrums are constant!! It’s honestly exhausting and getting me down. What age did people find everything just gets a bit easier???? I know there is an end in sight but just curious when 🙈
