Shrieking child next door ALL DAY LONG! WWYD

I would sit in the garden blaring Eminem when the kid is out there and also make noise at night. They will soon get the message

Agree. I've reported it so hopefully it'll be taken down.

I think this is possibly the most disgusting post I've seen on this site.

@Getonwitit What a horrible thing to say.

Your child may just end up like one of the five in the DM today and it will all be your own making.

You're lucky you're not my neighbour then. Mine aren't even that bad but they lowered the bar. Now I have wind chimes and play my music whenever I want - outside when I'm gardening. Can't be too quiet or I can't hear it in the garden. Oh, little petal is sleeping, you have friends over or just want some quiet? Too bad.

Oh dear.

Your little petal is going to grow up into a pleasant adult with consideration for those around her, I can see.

Actually I don't think we do annoy our neighbours. Ok we might use a lawnmower from time to time. But other than that, we don't make a noise. If we play music, it's in the house and not very loud. There is no reason to play it so it thumps so much you can hear it down the road. And when ds was small he wasn't allowed to play in the garden until 10am at weekends.

Noise pollution is really damaging, I don't know why people don't understand that.

Yep that's it in a nutshell.

My child can express themselves however they want...

Could some up half the problem parents. On mumsnet.

🤣🤣🤣 you live without making a single noise then? Thought not!! I don’t care about your mortgage petal my child can express herself however she sees fit from 8am to 8pm thus not breaking any laws at all wether you like it or not

Not managed to read whole thread but it might need you to approach mum, be neighbourly, ask if she needs anything etc to figure out what might be going on and gently telling her you can hear it all and it's really noisy next door..she may not realise.

Also, this kid may have Additional.needs but some cultures aren't brilliant at disciplining little boys - they are spoiled too much and sometimes mum has no authority/indulges them. Either way, a friendly chat may do the trick

Lol forgot to mention earlier I live directly opposite a nursery and primary school
Nursery kids are out most of the day either screaming banging or crying, the noise from the primary school playground is horrendous- big kids screaming pierce my ears a lot

does my head in but I got used to it
this is one child - try living opposite 130 screaming kids all day when I’m trying to wfh 😂

We had a similar situation for several years @Mydietstartstomorrow
If it's any comfort, the little girl has grown out of it now. No more screaming day and night, thank god!

One of my children is neurodiverse, I didn't allow them to screech endlessly. I parented them, and helped them express themselves in other ways that were not distressing for everyone else.

The fuck is this nonsense? No. Everyone has a right to live undisturbed by screeching, kids can play and laugh and express themselves without making loud noises. No, @Mydietstartstomorrow, you do not need to go into the office, move your desk to another room or buy noise cancelling headphones, ask your neighbours to reduce the noise, maybe give them some info on local parenting/play groups where they can access support if the boy has SEN, but for the love of all things, don't just put up with it.

To quote Jenna Ortega, No, you don't have to.

So if somebody moved in next to you and played thumping music from 8am-9pm every day, would you shrug your shoulders and say the same thing?

This is exactly my neighbours attitude I think 🙄

I can only wonder what my neighbours think. My son screams bloody murder when I'm creaming him or brushing his hair in the morning. He also makes happy shrieks or talks really loudly sometimes when he is playing but I do correct when it gets out of hand. it hurts my ears I'm sure more then it hurts the neighbours. I really need to get a pair of noise cancelling earphones for myself. Either they just don't care or like me are trying to keep the noise down to a minimum but short of duct taping his mouth shut it's really a work in progress 🤣 Written as child makes very loud fire engine siren noises in the background 🫠

They can make whatever noise they want until 9pm. If you can’t handle it then work in the office.

Yep I think there's far more "they can do what they like in their home to express themselves" parents causing this (ie my neighbours) than those with SEN to be honest.

Its quite different if parents have tried and/or they scream all day.

What can they do? Shove something in his mouth ? No
Hard to get 2 and 3 year olds to be quiet at the best of times
some kids are noisier than others

So ultimately you think your child is allowed to cause disruption to everybody else and make them resent paying their mortgage 😬

It’s a child in his own home he’s expressing himself in a new environment it’s likely he will settle when he goes to nursery or pre school but expect it to continue through the holidays as a mother of a young child there’s little space in public I can allow my child to be free there’s no way I’m restricting them at home too

Speak to the parents asap. Yes he’s only a young child but my goodness children’s shrieking cuts right through you. Some parents are just really crap at parenting and think the rest of us should just suck it up. You should be able to enjoy your own garden.

When I was on holiday recently the family next door much have been letting their children somersault over the beds ??. I went over and knocked and asked them to keep it down. It’s common courtesy on holiday to at least attempt to parent your children and should be the same in your own home.
