I might well be unreasonable and I am perfectly prepared to accept if I am deemed to be unreasonable but this feels a but unfair to me.
My neighbours have four kids. One Primary aged, one seventeen year old and two secondary aged and they're loud. My bedroom is next door to one of the secondary aged kids and if I'm on nights on a weekend or half term I kick my eldest daughter out of her room because it is impossible to sleep over the top of their son screaming (and I do mean screaming) at his console game.
The father constantly screams at the two dogs and one of the children. It is every single day. I learned the names of their dogs within half an hour of having the keys because he was constantly screaming at them.
Over the summer holidays they throw garden parties once or twice a week and often take speakers out into the garden. They generally finish up at about 1 or 2am. When they're not throwing garden parties they're leaving the teenager alone who throws wild house parties (think teenagers leaning out of windows screaming and teen girls screeching at each other). Again these finish at around 1am and only once has it got so out of hand that my property was damaged (a concrete bird bath was smashed).
During the day their youngest child plays in my front garden so I have to sit with the curtains closed to stop my own dog cracking up.
I've taken all of this on chin as part and parcel of living in close proximity to other people and although it bothered me because I work 12-15 hour shifts (6pm to 8am or 6am to 6pm or 6am to 9pm) plus I have college so I'm constantly knackered but I always figured it's not their fault I work long, unsociable hours so never complained or disliked them for it.
Last night my family came around for drinks. We were playing music. The speaker is on the party wall but we were talking so the music wasn't excessively loud and the speaker itself is only an iPig type thing not a massive sub woofer like they have.
At around 10pm the bloke from next door almost smashed down the door he thumped on it that hard. He very abruptly told me I was keeping his child awake and that he had to work early in the morning.
I have people round around three times a year. I never scream or shout at my kids or dogs. My kids don't scream at their games consoles until gone 11pm at night. I did apologise and moved everyone to the kitchen which is detached and the furthest we could get from their house but I feel given the level of constant noise they make their actions (mostly the rudeness) were uncalled for. AIBU? And also would I BU to now start complaining when they keep me awake?
I probably won't complain I hate confrontation
