I have posted about them before , detached houses.
We go to bed at 10.30 pm .I know they come back around 11pm , slam the car doors about 8 times , shout about their evening in the front garden , slam their gates , go in the house .They always forget something and go back to the car , shout at each other once more , slam the front door .Then 30 minutes later they drive to the shop on the corner 8 houses down and then the same routine , slam the doors several times, shout , so now it's midnight and I can't sleep.
Tomorrow morning 5.45 am a repeat of the night before.
I have ear plugs , I know I am grumpy but it's just so inconsiderate.
Weekends they are up early shouting in the back garden so I can't switch rooms .
I know when the son has done a poo because he shouts to his mother who is in the summer house at the end of the garden.
I actually got a friend to listen as despite the houses being detached I can hear the youngest child running on the stairs. She thought I was crazy so I made her listen and I am not mistaken.
I did ask them to be a little quieter after my last post but they laughed.

Oh we have a door slammer. Usually around 1am and they seem to open each car door then slam them
I’ve never heard anyone shut a car door like it

Next time the kid announces a successful defecation, shout your congratulations over the fence.

That's actually a good idea!

@Motheroffive999 I don't know what to say. I'm really sorry you're going through this. I'm constantly amazed how noisy people are.

I used to dream of living in a house but these days everyone is so fucking noisy, I don't know how much difference it makes. I suppose at least there's more rooms to escape to.

I guess one approach would be to be friends with them. Then you could introduce the topic a bit more gradually and see if they change. They might even just lower their volume a bit if they like you.

There are several generations in the household so lots of people for childcare .

You need to move to an house in the middle of nowhere,

I'd put a note through the door about the car door slamming and shouting. That's Out of order.

Wouldn't mention the pooing child or stairs running - that takes you from rightfully annoyed neighbour, to stalky weirdo who's hearing things.

Actually, if they're both out at midnight- wheres the loud pooing, stair running child?
