I love my house so I hate the idea of moving but my neighbours are making it fairly unbearable around here atm. For a bit of a back story, usually they would be fine, a few loud parties each year and loud children, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Since we've been in lockdown they have been all spending a lot more time outside the front of our houses. We live in a bowl shape at the end of a drive, and maybe 15-20 people come out a few times a week. Drinking, playing games, playing loud dance music on sound systems, blocking the road for access in and out. During the week it carries on until about 11, weekends 1-2am. My partner is still working (key worker), I'm self employed wfh with a 4 year old.
We were invited out a couple times at the start (just before and on VE day) but it isn't our scene at all, we don't drink and he spends all day working outside so wants to be in to relax, so I just said "maybe, thank you" and obviously didn't go. Since then we've been labelled "miserable b*ards" for not joining in when my partner walked past, and it's making my anxiety ridiculous. I have a rescue dog who barks a lot out of fear from outside noise in the house so he's constantly barking and upset too.
Am I overreacting? I wish I could stop giving a shit and just let them crack on but I feel like I can't relax in my own home ATM, I can't even keep the windows open it's that loud.
