Screaming toddler next door what can we do....

[Crouchendmumoftwo]

Hello,

We live on a road with Victorian terraced houses. Our lovely neighbours who had 5 children have moved and a new couple have moved in with a 1.5 year old.
We havent slept for over a week since they moved in as their child cries on and off through the night and screeches and it wakes both of us up so 12 and then 3 in the morning and 6 in the morning. We are both exhausted. We have a 3 and 4 year old and are just getting our sleep back into order!
For some reason he seems to be in their bedroom and crying and we think that he is not being responded to immediately as the crying goes on and on. Also his screams are high pitched and really loud. We have had 5 kids next door with the youngest being 3 and we really didnt hear much so this is really ironic!
We also work from home and both hear him crying and screeching with his piercing voice throughout the day. I don't mind this so much it's just the lack of sleep at the moment. What would you do. I can't use earplugs unfortunately. We are at our wits end and exhausted from tiredness....
Thanks very much.

You do realise the toddler is now FOUR YEARS older?

ZOMBIE ALERT

omg...how did I not see the date and why was it listed on my active feed...!

Thanks PurpleDaises...hopefully the OP has had a few decent nights sleep since this was posted

Having just RTFT (without realising it was old) I would be delighted if this kid had kept the OP awake for the past four years

So sorry to hear you have to deal with this- your own home should be a quiet, restful safe haven.

Ain't nobody got time for reading through all these replies (some of which are so darned rude and unsympathetic), so don't know if this has been suggested but why don't you befriend them, then say "Please let us know if we ever make too much noise. The walls here are VERY thin." Worth a try???

And please ignore rude people who obviously don't care about THEIR kids bothering others. So happy to live in a detached home!!!

Haha zombie alert big time!!

I know my neighbours cannot help that their 5 year old child has severe excema, but he screams and bangs on doors(?) for at least an hour every 2 hours throughout the night! He sleeps in his own bedroom but comes through to mum and dad when he presumably wakes up.Often the mum and dad's screaming at the child is noisier than the child! They seem to let him screech and cry for about 30-40 minutes before they start screaming at him themselves.
I don't want to be a complaining neighbour, but my husband is recovering from cancer and these sleepless nights really are not helping! The neighbours rent but we own (semi detached). Does anyone have any ideas how I can get more sleep.....I have excema in my ears so I cannot use ear plugs ironically! Thanks, Liz

My middle dd has been a constant lil madam. She is three nearly four. Since she could crawl she would pull her big sisters hair. Mdd started walking, when cross dd would throw herself backwards with a surprising force. Now mdd hits her sister and her baby sister, screams and throws toys. Stamps on the stairs refuses to walk. Dk what the neighbors must think especially when I have turn the air blue moment alone in the kitchen. Mdd can be so kind and caring and then Tasmanian denil mode happens.

Perhaps start your own thread - the child is about now...
