Neighbours!!

[MyBambi]

Basically for the last two hours my DD has been crying on and off.She has been teething and for some reason her reflux is at her too.She just four months.

We live in a flat,but it was a mansion renovated into flats.They aren't too small,but our neighbors are not to happy about the baby crying and are stamping or jumping and dropping things really loudly on the floor over us.And walking up and down their flat stamping the ground out of it.

Normally I am use to it,but today it's really bad and really am not able for it.And it gets worse when they invite the friends over who join in.Shouting,stamping acting crazy..What would you do??

People are more tolerant when they 'know' the person who is doing the so called annoying thing.

Try talking (no confrontation required), say sorry about the baby crying and say that you realise it must bother them. Tell them why she is crying and in all probabilities they will understand. If it were me, I'd take some muffins or box of chocolates as a token offering for them listening to your baby cry and it gives you a way to open a conversation with your neighbours.

On the odd chance that they are rude to you, just tell them you are sorry about the situation, then go home and forget them, there is then nothing more you can do.

All the best.

What crime are they dealing with

Oh none they'll be sitting around drinking coffee & eating donuts. Ffs I've seen some bloody stupid comments on here but that takes the

That's awful OP and sounds very unpleasant and needlessly aggressive.

I sympathise becuase when my baby was a similar age she had a spell of illness or teething and my downstairs neighbour asked my DH (who was the landlord) if me and the baby could change bedroom so he would be less disturbed by her, as he was a junior doctor and needed his sleep! I did, and slept on a futon in the spare room with her for months by myself while my husband slept in our nice lovely bedroom. Looking back I should have told him to move bedrooms (OK he was a doctor but he was also very entitled as a person). I was in a PND fog and just did it to keep the peace.

People without babies just don't understand how hard it is to make them stop crying at that age. I would agree with the take the baby around and explain approach. It sounds like they are just being wankers and might be shamed into being a bit more kind if you approached them.

I am not being a snowflake but just want to register I don’t have children but I do completely understand.

People without children are often bundled into this group of hedonistic individuals. You don’t know the people jumping on the ceiling don’t have children.

Sorry I am being a bit sensitive here - but I just hate when people make statements like this. People without children don’t understand. Argghhhh.

OP I hope you some sleep last night and baba is a bit more settled for you today. I hop the enjoy neighbours are thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

He eejit neighbours that should be

Do you know if your upstairs neighbours have carpets & insulation? That's usually written into the lease for these converted mansion flats but a lot of people forget about it & sand the wooden floorboards instead, which leads to the problems with the noise. If they don't have carpet, a quick email to your managing agents for the block or leaseholder might be in order.

Time to play the sound of a crying baby through your speakers and fuck off to a travellodge for a night. What a shower of thundercunts your neighbours are
