This afternoon I’ve overheard my neighbours slagging me off, and I’m f&£*ing fuming about it.
a bit of context… we live rurally but in a barn conversion so they are attached to me.
they are older with no children (well adult children), I am younger with primary aged children. We are inconvenienced daily by noise from their house, the drone of their dryer that’s on all the time, dogs barking, loud music (this can be into the early hours), banging from the cleaners, building work in the house or garden.
It disturbs us (especially when I’m on nights and trying to sleep) but we get on with it because that’s what happens when you don’t live in a detached house, and we don’t want to be complaining.
My children are not out in the garden all day every day, but with it being school holidays they are out there playing more often, I bought them a small bouncy castle as they had got outstanding end of year reports.
On nice dry days they’ll go on it and I do try to keep the noise down. But children playing inevitably make noise.
Anyway, I know they were talking about us as after comments such as “it’s ridiculous “ and “constantly up and down” one of them said “who puts a bouncy castle in their garden?” Some of what they said was inaudible but it has me insenced. I feel like just letting the kids run wild.
Not really sure why I’ve posted other than to vent, sorry it’s long and boring!!
Give me some good comebacks!!!
