And so starts the spring/summer season... fab.
This past two weeks alone, as a snapshot:
- woken every weekend morning by 8.30 am as their kids thunder up and down the stairs for about 20 minutes
- every, single, evening, shouting (from the parents) screaming (from the kids) answering back (from the kids), doors slamming
- parents heard shouting at their children (by my children) just last week "you effing dickhead!"
- just now kids kicking a ball against a metal shed in their garden for around 40 minutes (I'd never allow my children to do that)
- then someone literally standing at the shed (I think) super rapidly bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang on said shed
- one of the DC once again (as per previous years) standing on their climbing frame or whatever gawping at me as I try (and fail) to sit in the privacy of my own living room (must remember to keep the curtains drawn and the doors closed throughout the summer, and never dare to spend time in the garden)
I finally cracked and had to bellow out of me french doors (at the banging on the metal shed) "Will you please shut up!!!". To which one of the adults retorts "Oh be quiet". Be quiet?! That's what you need to do.
I am SO sick of this. It's been like this since I moved in in 2011..... they are such disrespectful w*nkers I struggle to believe it.
Rrrrrr.
