Music blaring. Loud voices and shouting. My kids can't sleep. I'm so annoyed

OP posts:
Alisvolatpropiis · 30/04/2016 23:04

Yabu.

And yes, I have a child.

Thornrose · 30/04/2016 23:08

Blimey Loopy how do you deduce that posters are bitches and bored housewives just because they happen to disagree with the OP?

LoopyNuts · 30/04/2016 23:11

If a bitchy response is posted I assume the person is not a bitch and must be bored. I'm nice like that.

SweetPeaPods · 30/04/2016 23:13

OP are you my neighbour?!
A party has also kept my dc up tonight. Very loud music. Right pissed off with it all

When I lived in a city the neighbours next door used to have outdoor parties with steel drums until 4am. I was really lonely and longed for an invite.

However if I had children I would have been bloody furious.

Flufflepuff · 30/04/2016 23:14

Well, yanbu, you have my sympathy.

I can't think how it's become so socially acceptable to be noisy late into the night - there must have been a time in life it wasn't ok and I can only think that people who'd have no issue with it just deal with noise differently.

Hope it settles down soon, fast, and that you all get some sleep!

Thornrose · 30/04/2016 23:14

Right! Confused

LagunaBubbles · 30/04/2016 23:17

Loopy you don't sound nice at all. People are allowed to disagree with OP you know.

JaneyLane · 30/04/2016 23:23

YANBU!

Knowing you have dc your neighbour could have had least told you earlier that they were having a party, although if it's as you say and they have regular parties throughout the Summer then they obviously don't give a flying fig.

JaneyLane · 30/04/2016 23:24

How old is/are your dc?

LoopyNuts · 30/04/2016 23:53

Laguna I'm very nice, very patient and very tolerant. And I stick up for people on mumsnet who are getting unnecessary nasty, bitchy responses. You CAN disagree without being bitchy, but a lot of people on this forum haven't figured that technique out yet!

SweetPeaPods · 30/04/2016 23:58

I've just phoned 101 and someone is on their way round. 3 year old ds is terrified it's that's loud

Tuesday contact the environmental health noise team. They will get you to log it. They give you a diary. They can prosecute. We had to do that last summer. Luckily the first letter stopped it all and no action was needed.

Alisvolatpropiis · 01/05/2016 00:48

Threads like this make me so glad that my neighbours are normal people who neither expect us to ask permission to have a social life nor ask it of us.

LagunaBubbles · 01/05/2016 03:17

Loopy regardless i don't think calling strangers "bitchy" and "bored housewives" is very nice at all, or accurate either.
andrakeyourpenguin wasn't rude at all and was told to "fuck off" by OP, yeh that's nice behaviour to eh? Hmm

JaneyLane · 01/05/2016 03:23

I don't think it's a question of asking permission I think it's a question of being neighbourly, doing the decent thing and not throwing a noisy party without forewarning, knowing there are small children next door.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2016 05:58

Yabu to complain at 10.30.

You would not be unreasonable if it went on past midnight or happened frequently.

Yabu to tell a perfectly pleasant poster to fuck off.

Eminado · 01/05/2016 06:03

Yabu to tell a perfectly pleasant poster to fuck off

And Loopy you were even more unreasonable with that stupid "bored housewives" comment.

TheDowagerCuntess · 01/05/2016 06:15

Loopy is either a bored housewife herself, or considers posting on a bored housewives' forum a good time, so .... 🍻

SeasonalVag · 01/05/2016 07:06

The thing that used to really ENRAGE me was the fact that mi kids would be frightened at the noise but the student fuckers I lived next go didn't care.

I'm so grateful I live in the burbs now. I sympathize completely with all of you

To be fair, AndTakeYour Penguin 's response to OP was a bit sneering (not perfectly pleasant).

sharknad0 · 01/05/2016 07:48

Why are people so mean? if you want to throw a party, rent a hall! How difficult is it to respect your neighbours? Some work on shift, some are sick, some have babies, it's not fair to assume that you are entitled to make their life a misery.

When I had neighbours who thought that Saturday evenings were a free-for-all, I kept reporting them. I also made sure that they could appreciate how noise travels by making as much noise as possible from 6am the following morning. I didn't go as far as gardening, but I made sure they were up too.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2016 07:51

It was perfectly pleasant! She was pointing out that 10pm was a ridicuously early time for a party to finish. And would never happen. Which is what the op is expecting. And she pointed in out in a perfectly reasonable way. Sheesh.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2016 07:55

Loopy you're just being very combative. . Creating a fight when there isn't one there.
