AIBU to have a go at my neighbour over heating

Firstimefreaked · 13/09/2017 00:20

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.

Take care. You mention drugs - might they be growing marijuana?

Zombie!

Imagine the poster now though: Am I being unreasonable to ask that my neighbour turns the heating up so that my flat stays warm during the current energy crisis? Grin

Fuck that I wouldn’t be saying anything, she’s gonna save you money this winter

Leave her alone. It’s her home!

I wouldn't have a go at her, just mention it. I doubt she wants to be burning money up when she isn't in the house anyway.

This.

Having a go at her will achieve what, exactly?

Just speak to her nicely. You wondered if she's leaving her heating on because of temps in your flat, you have a young infant, would she please mind turning heating off when she's out, thank you very much.

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.

Err, I don’t often post on zombies but come on now…you’ve posted on a thread from 2017 claiming that OP is lying about having a newborn because she has a daughter in 2018…

You’re the one not impressing anyone with your reading comprehension skills!

Seriously doubt the ndn can afford the heating on now!!

Redglitter · 09/08/2022 08:28

*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*

You might want to rtft properly. This thread is from 2017 so what she posted is right. She said in 2017 she was a new mum - not in 2022

Sadly, neither are you @Glitteratitar, or you'd have spotted the 'mea culpa' update I posted just after the appalling crime you are berating me for 😂

You too @Redglitter - as you'd have seen if YOU'D rtft, I posted a 'zombie realisation' in the small hours this morning. Can't imagine how you missed it!

MissGlitterSparkles · 09/08/2022 08:42

For those saying that a neighbours heating doesn’t affect your property - it absolutely can. I used to live in an ‘inside’ house in a terrace of four. The neighbours on both aides both liked to be warm (both would heat their houses to 26 degrees and wear shorts in the winter). I very rarely had to turn my heating on in the winter because the heat came through the walls!

What surprises me is why someone would have their heating on in August though? Although OP - you may be pleased if your neighbour does this in the winter as it will save on your fuel bills!

Why has anyone got their heating on at the moment? Neighbour must have money to burn!

gotelltheoldmandowntheroad · 09/08/2022 09:01

I think if she's leaving it on while out in these times something's up that having a go won't solve.

Why does she need formula instead of BM? Stress doesn't help when trying to produce milk. I had trouble BFing at first, let me know if I can help with some input on that.
