To pity the mother living on the floor above me. Her children are DREADFUL

Both the Mum and her Dh fly around constantly looking after them.

I'm not certain but it appears they have sextuplets ... They start squalling and squalking from 3:45am and are still squalling and squalking at 9pm. Angry

And they CONSTANTLY demand food. Yelling at poor old mum and dad and fighting amongst themselves Hmm

Their parents look knackered, particularly as one has started to explore and has nearly fallen off the roof twice, despite her parents pointedly shoving her back inside.

Still, the arrival of our new neighbours and their horrible children has certainly made me appreciate my own dc a bit more, even if mine aren't going to fly the nest quite as soon as upstairs Grin

Sextuplets must be tough, but at least the kids move out of home at 4 weeks!

OP, who ruffled your feathers? You sound very flighty to me, you should keep your beak out!

HoneyDragon · 30/04/2014 15:56

I shared my bacon sandwich with the Mum earlier. I'm not totally callous you know.

This is why I'm only having one

I had people living above me and it sounded like a heard of elephants every evening. Kids have energy though.

nearly fallen off the roof twice

Duct Tape. Buy them duct tape to restrain their godless little heathens. Grin

Yay for ghastly child neighbours! They make such marvellous cautionary examples: "Remember Shania from our last house? She didn't go to bed when told, and she's 14 stone, pregnant and has more tats than teeth now."

Personally I think the dad could do more if he spent less time tweeting his mates Hmm
