and what do you do, if every time you opened the backdoor. all you could hear was screaming neighbours kids...

cos I am going mad.

Quick scenario, of a regular day

open back door, let cats in, next door's middle girl of about 9, is hysterical and shouting and shouting, and basically stropping for england.

mum is justnt able to get thru to her, and ends up giving in to her. Sometimes, I think 'good for you mother, you aren't giving into her', but then her dd keeps on and on, screaming for like 10 mins, and mum gives into her'

I like them mum, but they are always struggling to cope it seems. Yet my dd who is 6 , well since we have lived here (2 yrs) it's all she hears when she goes in the garden!! I swear tho, one look from me over the fence(very low) seems to stop the little luv in her tracks. She's just crying out for attention form her mum, but to give her mum her due, I can't fathom, what the little girl is wanting from her. There is an older girl too, and a new baby, but this behaviour has been going on for much longer than the baby arriving.

Sometimes I feel like saying, 'I appreciate that .... might be going thru a stage, but it's really affecting my d, and it's depressing'

god, i dunno, i just needed to get it down.

sound like regardless of any other things that may be going on here (SN/Emotional issues), that this girl is crying of for some attention , all sounds very sad.

We had this until they moved out to a LOUD round of applause from everyone else in the road.

We put a note through the door gently explaining that sometimes it genuinely sounded like a child was hurt or in trouble and we kept leaping to the fence to check, so could they possibly monitor the screams accordingly. That had no effect.

But it was worth a try.

"kids do scream and shout alot!! and not all of us give a toss what the neighbours think."

Nice! you sound like my neighbour, horribly anti-social and only care about themselves, make an unholy racket day and night and tell you to fuck off if you ask them to shut up for just one bloody minute.

I never understand why people don't care anything about their neighbours...are they just inherently self centred and selfish?

lol @ Sassy.
Sometimes the kids are away for the day and I get to hear how much the neighbour's kids shout and cry, makes me feel so much better about my own horrendously noisy lot.

OP, I'd probably consider moving if I were you.
