Need to rant about neighbours..

So we’ve lived here for about 2 years now and our neighbours are just plain awful. They are a family of 3; mom, dad and a 2 year old little boy. The mom in particular is out right vile.

We honestly hear her shouting daily, it’s just varying degrees of shouting.. could be something simple and we only hear it once, or it could last for hours. On 2 occasions it has lasted on and off for 4, yes 4 hours.

On these 2 occasions we have called the police. Because accompanying her vile, aggressive shouting (at both her partner and her son btw) she sounds as though she is genuinely trashing the place. The second time we called she sounded like something out of a horror movie, she was literally wailing. Also, it went on from 10pm until just past 1am when we decided enough was enough and called the police.

Anyway, ever since we last called I have heard her make a few remarks very loudly when either returning to her house or upon leaving it. She seems very adamant that it was us who called the police. Last week she got back from a walk and said very loudly ‘I pushed the last neighbours out so it’s only a matter of time before I do the same with these ones’.

Then this afternoon my son was playing in the garden with my partner and I was putting some washing away in my sons room, it overlooks the gardens so when I heard them get back (they park around the back) and heard her screeching at her partner, as she always does 99% of the time when they return from anywhere, I peered out the window, as you do. She looked over to our house and shouted ‘The neighbours will be calling the f*king police again in a minute.. the f*king knobs’ I was just flabbergasted because my poor 3 year old was happily playing and he has to hear her scream abuse basically at him.

I guess I just want to know if anybody has any experience with similar neighbours? Or if I’ve been unreasonable with calling the police? The only reason we’ve ever called is because of the potential risk of a domestic abuse situation. I don’t think he is the abuser, it most definitely sounds as though it would be her.

oh how horrid so sorry! can u contact Council re anti social behaviour? no real advice sorry. Call police again as and when needed? and greet her in ridiculously friendly kind way, using her name? don't let her intimidate you, she sounds very sad with bad mh.

@NotMyDust Thank you for commenting!

Me and my partner have never retaliated at all when we’ve heard these silly remarks from her. We also say hello too when we see them outside, we don’t get nothing from her mind you, but her partner is friendly enough. I agree, she really needs some sort of help, I don’t ever ring the police to get her in trouble it’s always because of genuine concern for her families safety tbh, especially the little boy who during these screaming fits can be heard crying!

I think I’d be phoning Social Services. Poor child.

@Brigante9 I completely forgot to mention that we got in touch with social services about 2-3 weeks a go. Have heard nothing back, could also be why she’s even more angrier towards us recently I suppose.

What type of tenure? Owner / private/or social housing are you both?

I'd get decent CCTV that records sound.

Good luck. It sounds awful.
