Ok I’m probably going to get slated for this but hear me out please.
I’m a mum of 3 so do have kids and one who we believe has high functioning autism so understand some of the difficulties however here is my issue... my next door neighbor has a child who has clear issues (I don’t speak to them so don’t know the ins and outs but don’t doubt she has a diagnosis of some kind) most nights a week she has complete screaming meltdowns about 9/10pm (bedtimes) and can go on for over an hour some nights. during the weekend and holidays especially summer they are constantly slamming doors in the day. Then there is in the night most nights they wake me up banging around (not just the child the adults too) iv probably has 1 full nights sleep in a month (that’s all cutting a long story short) anyway I have my own health issues so sleep is important, I’m often in bed before 10pm and I have reached breaking point, lack of unbroken sleep is having a huge impact. We did complain about the door slamming to be greeted with hostility and it didn’t stop so anyway I don’t have the money to move (I’m a student and we are both council so cheap rent) I’m at the end of my teather I can’t live like this. Aibu to complain? Not about the child but the overall noise
