Ok I might be over reacting but here goes.
Moved into a new house .
It's the best area I've ever lived in.
Downsized to be able to afford it .
It's a new build.
Nice private back garden, already fenced off with fencing with gaps in.
Everyone seems nice including the neighbours who aren't attached to us.
Now the issue.
They have a 3 year old an older child and 2 dogs.
Obviously the weather has been great and they go in the garden a lot.
For reasons only known to them their back garden is not child friendly.
The dad has spent every weekend and possibly day, we've been working so can't be sure, converting the garden I to something resembling garden of the year.
Think pond beautiful low level flowers, orna n mental features etc.
He spends literally hours doing this whilst supervising the 3 year old.
There seems very little for the 3 year old to do.
Of course he gets bored and when he gets annoyed, bored, told off starts screaming.
He screams every day.
I know this because when I come home from work I sit in my garden and he is outside screaming.
At the weekend I was woken up by him outside screaming and screaming.
Sometimes I come inside but I can still hear him and why should I not sit out in my own garden?
He then torments one of the dogs and they start barking and barking whilst he is screaming. The parents then shout at the dog/s to stop and speak to their child and tell him to stop.
It's becoming unbareable.
Between us my partner and I have 5 older dcs and I've never heard anything like it.
I think they should take him indoors and do something with him!
There is nothing for him to do outside other than spoil the fabulous garden his dad has created.
I don't mind noise, playing etc etc. But the daily screaming and dogs barking is getting me down.
I don't have a front garden to sit .
Another neighbours child sometimes screams but he is removed from the garden and parented!
Thanks for reading.
Also we have a very large private park within the estate so they could take him their for a run around/play.
