or should I expect to be woken up at 2am by my neighbours

[babygsmummy]

This morning at 2am,right outside my house my neighbours were screaming and shouting at each other car doors slammed,the works.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and cant sleep at all I was amazed this morning that I actully fell back asleep,Im so tired,they woke dp aswell.

Anyway Im haveing one of my windows changed as it was only fitted last year and it is misted up constantly.I have just received a text from the neighbour asking if I could ask the work men to be quiet as she didnt get much sleep last night......

would ibu to go round and-punch-her-in-the-face text back how funny neither did I.

I dont understand why these two are togeather,its like the love to hate each other.Im annoyed but I dont want to add to her misery,this is ongoing but before I was pregnant I could always fall back asleep.

For the sake of good neighbourly relations I would ignore the note completely but IF she says anything to you face to face then I would gently remind her that arguing at 2am woke you up.

If you know each other well enough to swap phone numbers, surely you two can talk to each other face to face?

Does she make a habit of screaming and shouting in the night or was it a one off?

no worral it is so ongoing,the seller didnt tell us about the weekly shows when we bought the house.

Im so irritated by it today I was hopeing someone would say punch her in the face as I coulld blame it on my hormones.But I am very aware of adding more pressure to thier relationship,I wouldnt be with him for all the tea in china,last nights argument was about the other woman AGAIN....I do have friendly chats with her but try not to get involved in relationship convosations as she has fell out with neighbours before over this and doesnt speak to 3 familys in the street.We have only swapped numbers because her house alarm goes off when the electricity runs out again regulary.

but wouldnt you think everyone can hear us we wont argue in the street....

I would proberly just text back

"sorry I will ask them, I did not really think to much about the sounds, did you hear those people argueing in the street last night? Wonder what that was all about!"

That way you stay friendly, you point out you heard a very loud argument but dont say you know it was her and her DP and it might be the case that she needs some support and someone to talk to about it thus also opening up the window of communication.

Also though in an argument you dont tend to think about everyone else sadly.. My nextdoor are dicks for it"!!

I would be tempted to either text back or go and knock on her door and say of course you will have a word with the builders (but can't promise anything) AND while we are on the subject of noise could she and DP/DH please be quiet as well as you did get any sleep last night either due to their rowing.

Yeah i agree with the rest - send back saying neither did you due to the argument in the street!!!

Thankyou all for your replys,chatty I just sent your text word for word.

Neighbour from the other side just knocked to see if I wanted to go in for a cup of tea while its cold and the window is being replaced.They are nearly finished so I declined but she told me that he took clothes last night so he may be gone for a while (she was looking out the window so not just us woken up).Lets hope for all our sakes hes gone forever...........
