I received a letter today from the daughter who lives next door (think she's about 21/22).
Our walls are very thin and we can hear everything that goes on in the next room. Her bedroom is next to our bedroom. Her complaint is that at weekends we wake her up when the "whole family " (me, DH and DS) gather in our bedroom and shriek, laugh, sing and generally make noise. This wakes her up. She says she likes to lie in at the weekend as she's up at 6am everyday in the week. (We are well aware of this as she wakes us up!). The final straw apparently was last weekend as she'd not gone to bed until 2am and we woke her up at 7.30am! She has asked us to be more considerate and not make so much noise so early in the morning.
My initial response is to tell her to eff right off. Tell her she's very lucky it's 7.30am and not 5.30am like most toddlers I know! Also to tell her to make the most of the relative peace at the moment as DS2 will be arriving in February!!
Alternatively I'm thinking about not responding at all and just ignoring her. I'm not changing anything just so she can lie in with a hangover! They have a 4 bedroom house so she could go and sleep in another room if it bothers her so much.
We have history with the parents also being very intolerant and writing us letters to complain about our dog barking in the past.
