Just after a general consensus really...
We live in a house with neighbours either side and the walls are thin - a fact we're all aware of as we all have kids.
All relationships are good natured and polite, we do little favours for each other when people go away - feed cats, water plants etc. Normal neighbour stuff.
Our neighbours to the left have clearly been having some marital issues over the last few months. I work from home and have been party to some huge rows through the walls in the daytime. Absolutely none of my business however, and I'll walk to a different room to avoid the noise and stress.
But the fights have been quite nasty, and the general tone has meant we have backed off from socialising with them. All still polite, but just want to create some distance.
However last night, when I was putting my son to bed, a huge row erupted in their child's bedroom - which they absolutely know is directly next to my son's room. There was shouting, banging, pulling stuff out of drawers maybe - this was around 8pm.
I moved my son to a different bedroom to go to sleep. He wasn't upset, but he was asking questions.
The fight continued then eventually came downstairs. Stopped half an hour later and all was silent.
My question: should I send a message on our group chat and mention how unacceptable I found that situation? I don't care if they fight at 2pm on a Monday because I have no interest in their personal issues - but my husband and I do not behave that way, and I don't think it's OK for my son to be disrupted by it, especially when he's trying to sleep.
Or should we stay well out of it?
Advice please!
