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

Hang on, has op namechanged part way through the thread?

Yesterday 23:58 SweetPeaPods

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

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2016 08:06

Sweet pea had posted about her own neighours earlier in the thread. Different to the op.

Jeremysfavouriteaunt · 01/05/2016 08:06

Oh sorry, not awake properly, sorry sweetpea Flowers

MTPurse · 01/05/2016 08:07

I thought that too Jeremy but I think sweetpea was another poster complaining of their neighbours also having a life party.

Roussette · 01/05/2016 08:21

We've been known to have a party or two here (I'm talking once a year type thing) and no way will I be hiring a hall! How ridiculous when we have room to party.

However if I know it's going to be noisy (have had live music in the past), I let the neighbours know so that they can plan accordingly. I also tell them to pop in for a drink if they want. We have new NDNs one side with DCs aged about 6 and 9 and I would make sure I tell them. Other side NDNs don't tell us when they party however but it's only a couple of times a year.

Our NDNs are having a big party soon.

But they have invited us so we will all be awake together Grin

Hello bored housewife, yourself!

As I said, I'm assuming you're a bored housewife, since you hang out here, too.

If you're not a bored housewife, then clearly you're just here for the craic. You can't stay away, can you - you love it here!

LoopyNuts · 01/05/2016 10:44

No, I only come here when I have a question. Which is posted elsewhere. And when I post a question as I am here so irregularly that I feel I owe some answers so I will flick through some random questions and give an opinion. And generally, like a crime fighter, stick up for people getting unnecessarily bashed by bored, nasty bitches. And then I go away. Until I have another question. I am now done. I got an answer, with no bashing as it was a fairly straight forward question with one straight forward answer. Bye bye.

CharlieFarlie16 · 01/05/2016 15:08

We (very stupidly, but that's a whole new thread) let our DD have her 16th at our house. We put a note through all neighbours doors about a week before to let them know and we kicked everyone out and stopped music at midnight. I don't think is U to have an occasional party that goes on til about 12 on a Saturday, as long as you let neighbours know and it really is occasional, or else it does take the piss

GraysAnalogy · 01/05/2016 15:14

This is just part of living in society OP, it's give and take. I'm sure sometimes your children make noise. As long as it's not every weekend going on until the early hours it's not reasonable to expect them to never have parties.

wheresthel1ght · 01/05/2016 15:14

1030 on a Saturday night isn't late and it isn't particularly unreasonable to still be making noise at that time. Post 1130 would see me wandering round for a polite word.

It's not fun to be having to put up with it every weekend but unless they are in breech of covenants on the house or breaching noise regulations laid out by your local council there really isn't much you can do. The noise of small kids irritates the heck out of people without kids so I would be suggesting live and let live I am afraid.

Have a lazy day today and relax

YouTheCat · 01/05/2016 15:28

The OP has already done the 'polite word' thing in the past and it has made no difference. This isn't a one off party. OP has said this will be all summer, on and off. The OP is entitled to quiet enjoyment of her property.

Much as I dislike excessive kid noise, it is during the day time and is no way comparable to the constant thumping of a party.

wheresthel1ght · 01/05/2016 15:53

Youthecat if her behaviour towards posters on here is any guide I doubt very much she has had a polite word. I suspect that she has gone round all guns blazing because that is exactly how she has gone off on here.

YouTheCat · 01/05/2016 15:57

Given that she sounds extremely stressed at the prospect of another 'summer of fun' from her neighbours, I don't blame her.

She has young kids who need their sleep or she'll be writing off the next day as the kids will be grumpy and tired. Why should anyone have to put up with that on a regular basis?

If it was a one off, I'd be saying live and let live, but it's clearly not.

Alexa444 · 01/05/2016 16:04

Far too early to be worked up. Its only 10.30 on a Saturday night. They have a right to have occasional parties. If it was every week then you could complain to environmental health. And honestly if you have children your neighbours have probably been woken many a night by them screaming their guts out at 4 am.

wheresthel1ght · 01/05/2016 16:07

That doesn't give her the right to be offensive. She has been exceptional rude to posters who have said she is unreasonable in a polite post. Assuming this is how she has gone off at her neighbours it doesn't surprise me in the least that they won't accommodate her demands to be quiet.

We have no idea how often "all the time" is, it is a subjective measure so could be once a month, every bank holiday or every week. But the point is unless it goes on after 11pm for most councils then nothing can be done.

CantThink5 · 01/05/2016 16:15

Whilst 10.30 on a Saturday night isn't that late, if this is the first in what will now be approx 6months of weekend parties then I totally get why you'd be fucked off.

I have nothing against the odd party. Great if you tell your neighbours, fair enough if you don't. However, I live nextdoor to people who are fully aware we have kids & still have parties from midday to 4am at least once a week, sometimes more. Didn't give a shit when I spoke to them. Reported a couple of times but didn't make a difference. In their 30s so not exactly young students who you might expect this from. They did stop throwing fag butts into my garden when I went round having a rant though (not my usual style, I'd just had enough by this point)

Anyway, I fully sympathise op!

lalalalyra · 01/05/2016 19:08

10:30pm might not be that late, but when you have inconsiderate fuckers for neighbours and you know that if the music is still going at 10.30 then it's going to be a long night it's understandable you get fucked off imo. Our neighbours do one of two things - the music goes on at 7pm and they go out at 10 to a place in town or the music goes on at 7pm and they are there until 3/4am so if their music is still blaring at 10.30pm (we're not even attached to them, but it's still ridiculously loud - I don't know how they can still hear!) then it makes me want to cry because you know it's going to be a long night.
