ok I know IABU but I need to rant about my bloody neighbours.
normally i don't mind that our paperthin walls mean that I get to listen to their children scream constantly (I have 1dc and don't get me wrong I know kids scream but these kids are 8 girl and 10 boy and they literally scream in high pitched voices all day from about 6am until they go to bed at about 11pm and no sn before i get flamed). they are home schooled and I don't usually mind that this means there is no let up all day every day.
I also don't usually mind their three dogs are barking constantly (again I have a dog so know they bark but this is every time someone walks past the window and for 10mins solid each time) I also usually cope with the fact the dogs fight every few days which then results in more.screaming from the kids.
Nor do I usually mind the fact the neighbour works for a car recovery company from home and she sits in her bedroom all night asking for membership numbers and sending out recovery trucks...our walls are pretty thin (wish I'd known this before we moved in!)
so last night I get my dc to bed and go to bed myself later on but at midnight there is a massive tantrum from the girl next door as she doesn't want to go to bed. no one asks her to be quiet I think they must be trying controlled hysteria this goes on until 1am by now my dc is awake and crying. as he has already been asleep for 4 hours by the time he is woken he won't go back to sleep. I try everything but he is wide awake. finally at 4.30am he falls asleep. I go back to bed but can't sleep as the neighbours working all i hear is 'rac recovery how can I help' so loudly i feel like she's sat in my freakin bedroom.
finally at some point I fall asleep only to be woken at 6am to the sound of the dogs fighting next door in the upstairs of the house and everyone screaming. cue my dc waking up hysterical as he has only been asleep for 2 hours. I've had about 50mins myself ...
so all morning my dc is hysterical evey little thing makes him cry and I try all morning to get him to have a nap but he is just hysterical ... finally at 3pm he falls asleep....at 3.15 the same neighbours decide to now cut their privets with a chain saw and they're still cutting them now over an hour later.
my dc woke straight away and is again crying non stop as he's had 6 hours broken sleep in 2 day I'm about to fall asleep on my feet and I have a migraine plus im 24 weeks pregnant and feeling fat and grumpy.
I know I'm bu but I'm thinking of throwing an alarming attack alarm through their letter box tonight - kidding.
so you can all tell me im bu now but i had to moan!
