Have got proper cabin fever today after not leaving the house with the kids... I work term-time but have school holidays off so normally none of us are home. However, the last couple of days we've stayed home as I've been trying to catch up with all the housework I don't get to do when working FT.
My 2 DC are LOUD. Maybe it just sounds loud to me, maybe it sounds loud to everyone, idk. They have been in and out of the garden whooping and screeching all day long. Toddler DS had a half hour tantrum between lunch/nap and DD has ASD and is prone to constant grunting which I find infuriating, and would imagine others would too.
I feel sorry for our neighbours! We have only been here a few months and this is the first time we've been at home during the day this length of time.
I want to take round a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates to the neighbours to apologise and just to show I am aware of how much of a PITA it must be to have such noisy kids next door. We are out for the next few days and then it's back to school/work so will be quiet as of tomorrow.
DH says this is a bad idea as it draws attention to it and sets a precedent for them beginning to complain about the noise levels.
I think it is just a thoughtful gesture, one that I would probably appreciate if in my neighbours shoes.
AIBU?
