Some new neighbours moved in opposite me recently, say a few months ago. We are in blocks of flats where the windows face each other exactly and it is possible to see very clearly into the windows of the people opposite. I can also see into the neighbours below and above but of course much easier with the people opposite on the same floor as me. Excuse the rambling. We all have tiny kitchens, not really possible to fit more than 2 people in, 1 is preferable really. The window is where the sink is. Nobody has curtains or blinds in their kitchen. I don't know why this is. I feel that because the kitchen is so tiny it would make the place kind of cluttered and very dark.
My problem is that they appear to be a group of flat sharers. They are rather over amorous an I am fed up of having to watch them at each other each time I am in the kitchen. Its kind of annoying to have to try not to look out of the window when washing up especially as its right in front of my face. My main issue is that I have children and I don't really want them to wander into the kitchen and see what they are up to. I'm not just talking about a hug and a peck on the cheek. I have actually had to ask then to get ready and go to bed because of what was going on.
So I know I could have blinds fitted at my expense and keep them closed all the time though I already keep most of my living room curtains closed as does pretty much everyone else so I feel like we are shutting out the light quite a lot already. Would I be unreasonable to stick a note up on their main door asking people to try and remember that we can all see clearly into each others kitchen windows and that there are some things that children (and other adults) don't really want to see? Or am I being totally unreasonable and should I pay someone to fit blinds for me and live with even less natural light?
