Background: we live in a lovely 1930's semi in a pretty, quiet and small hamlet. The area is very rural and quiet- basically why we chose the house.
Our neighbours are generally great. They are an older couple with a 20 something son who still lives at home.
The worst thing about them is that the son stays up late and often goes outside to smoke pot and then slams the door on coming in which vibrates the whole house and can sometimes be as late at 1am which wakes us all up but we don't mention it as the family are lovely in other respects and it doesn't happen daily- maybe one or two nights per week.
However, Wednesday night (working weeknight) they had a party until gone 2am. There was lots of door slamming, banging, music, singing, dog barking (they were obviously teasing their dog) etc etc so non of us actually got much sleep and I had to get up for 6am for work. We let it go as they don't normally do this.
But then last night at close to midnight it all starts up again and they start letting fireworks off in the garden....... needless to say my husband flipped as we were desperate for sleep and he swore at them over the garden fence.
It all went quiet and they did actually stop.
However do you think he acted unreasonably? He is feeling really guilty for swearing and breaking up the party. I think we wouldn't have minded had it been a weekend or had it only been one night. But we were concerned as our two year old was stirring and we both have work in the week so it was starting to affect us.
Should we apologise for breaking up the party?
