They are 6 and 4. One of them - I presume the younger one - is having an epic screaming fit and I have no hope of getting to sleep until she packs it in. She does this almost every night and has done since birth. They moved in when the mum was PG. I had 2 screamers myself so can understand how awful it is and until recently used to lie awake feeling sorry for the parents and grateful those days are over for me. But she is on her way to her fifth birthday now and I just think it is ridiculous that she screams for at least 2 hours every night. And sometimes wakes at 3/4am and starts again then too. The parents don't seem to do anything apart from sometimes start arguing over whose turn it is to do something.
Aggravating factor is the fact that these 2 kids spend 3 hours after school shouting and banging gates immediately outside my window daily. My kids also play out front, but if mine were this noisy I would force them to come back indoors. I don't see why the whole neighbourhood has to listen to my kids shouting.
AIBU? I fear I am but I am so tired!
