AIBU to have a go at my neighbour over heating

[Firstimefreaked]

I have a new born and I woke up earlier and the flat was warm so I opened my window which is a ground floor flat after about an hour it's boiling in the living room but I thought it could be hormones so Got the themomitor and measured the room temp it was nearly flipping 30 degrees which doesn't make sense as the neighbour is out and it 15 this eve...she left her heating on full blast even tho she's gone out probs since 3 ish and she's just gotten back would AIBU to have a go at her? All my windows are wide open and its 24 atm the baby was dangerously hot. There was probably cues that she was hot but I'm a first time mum and a bit naive I wil be more aware in the future but she was not wearing lots of clothes nor did I think her heating would be on when she was out on a reasonably warm day.

Please stop blaming your silliness on hormones and don't chuck in you should be breastfeeding to get a sympathy vote.

You are an arse.

silkybear freak outs don't mean pnd, it's pretty standard new mum behaviour. Trust me, I had both.

Just going back to the OP, unless you know that her heating was on you can't be sure that it was even that that caused your flat to be so warm.

Glad that you are feeling better now.

Just keep holding onto the thought that you will be moving out soon.

The thermostat could be broken or something...maybe just go over and tell her how hot your flat got and ask her if she had the same thing happen?

It sounds more like your DD has a temperature, it can be very scary when your little one feels so hot. Taking her to the GP is the right thing to do. Hope she gets well soon.

As someone who used to try and last out with the heating and rely on my neighbours..your neighbours heating couldn't elevate the temperature to that degree. Does your flat get sun? A way to lower temperatures is to close the curtains in rooms that get very sunny. You also know how to lower the temperature. Hopefully this should reassure you.

Check your room temperature, your thermometer (maybe get a room thermometer if you don't have already?) and your thermostat. It is extremely unlikely that your neighbour can have the impact you're describing. A degree or two perhaps, but not several. I know, I've held out wishing it wasn't the case!

Do you happen to have the same landlord or letting agent? Maybe you could contact them to look into why your flat got so hot when their heating was on.

Chin up OP some people on here can be right arses, doubt they would make nasty comments in person!

ThemadHugger Are you being sarcastic ? You sound like someone from Netmums .

OP - I completely understand how anxious you can feel just after having a baby. I hope you are ok - can you have the midwife or health visitor over for a chat?

It'll pass after a few weeks, usually, but it's horrible when you're overwhelmed. I think a lot of us have been there. I know I was, after the birth of my last baby.

Are you sure it's not your flat? When I lived in a flat it would get super hit. I never once had the heating on. Now im in a house I struggle to get used to how cold it is lol

Just ignore, if you're moving in 3 months then you won't have to worry about the neighbours either!
It's only 3 months Firstimefreaked it will fly by!

Some inventive storytelling here.

OP was SO keen to impress upon us how she is a brand new mother with her first newborn that something seemed amiss.* *On seeing her comment about goady PP & advanced searching, I also searched her, & lo! - she started a thread in 2018 about telling her young daughter that Santa isn't real.

So you are aiming your scolding at the wrong parties here.

OP - give over. You're not impressing anyone with your whoppers drip feeds & supposedly mysterious heat issue.

Wow, aren't you hard? We're all scared, & have locked up our boiler systems.

Zombie!!!

For goodness sake this is from 2017!!! The first clue this is an old thread is the subject of heating. We are in the middle of a heatwave!!

But not when they are posting lies OP.

Like telling PP back in 2018 that you had a new daughter, but in 2022 making a song & dance about being a first-time mum.

Or making a thread about being a vulnerable new mother, with a title "should I have a go at my neighbour" & then drip-feeding the 'fact' that they are drug dealing thieves.

Sod it, zombie!

Apologies everyone. It's late, & I'm a fool to not have noted the correct dateline. Genuinely thought OP was posting 'live'.

It's summer. It's hot! Your neighbour's heating won't affect your place.

Baby will be 5 years old by now.

What? Is she a lizard or something.

You would be really unreasonable to say anything at all! It's absolutely none of your business how warm your neighbour has her own home and it's down to you to cool your own home. Surely you must see that you can't 'have a go' at someone because they heated their own home? How can you even be sure that she left her heating on anyway? You're just assuming.

How do posters not realise this thread is 5 years old! Presumably the baby is at school now!

Easily done when the zombie in question is placed in 'trending' sidebar.

@Steel19
Are you quite well? Why are your trawling though 5 year old threads 🤔
