My neighbour has a little boy, we live in a SHITE new build and he is SCREAMING AGAIN! My poor DD has been in bed for 45 minutes and she cant get to sleep because he is screaming so loud it comes through 2 walls with the door shut 🙄 he used to scream every single night and I heard from another neighbour it was because he was used to being in his mums bed and she was trying to get him out and into his own, THANK GOD it stopped for about a month but its started again the last 3 nights, he also runs up and down and it sounds like a group of elephant are coming through the wall !!!

What makes it 10X worse is she has had words with the neighbour on the other side (terrace) DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY to "turn her music down"

SO AIBU to knock on kick the door of and ask her if she could try and get her son to stop screaming so my poor DD can go to sleep!!!😁

It's not your age that's the issue here, it's your attitude really.

You simply wanted to slag her off on MN, if you wanted a solution you could've talked to her and explained that the noise is keeping your DD up and could she do something about it.

I don’t think the neighbor can probably help the fact her son cries but listening to someone else’s child cry and scream for hours on end is enough to send you mad. I think your neighbor should apologise and offer some sort of explanation. I had a neighbor whose daughter had autism. She was very very difficult and when the mum has had enough. She would shut he outside! My neighbor lost it at her one day and told her to shut up. I feel your pain.

It's a very rare mother who wants her child to scream the house down. Most of us work our backsides off trying to keep our kids happy.

Some children are just extremely loud, just as some adults are. We live in a society which frowns upon the expression of negative emotions and when a child breaks that rule, people naturally blame the mother for failing to 'control' them. That's patriarchy.

What is it you're expecting her to do to stop him?

Oh op. You really have had it from all angles on this thread Grin

I completely sympathise, but my 3 month old being woke up isn’t by a 4 year old boy screaming, it’s by 2 dogs constantly and I mean constantly screeching at night.
(Neighbours don’t speak to us/ anyone) and I got told off other neighbour they’re rescue dogs with ‘issues’. Reported to rspca and don’t hear them now. Just hear the parrot instead. That’s exactly why we’re in the process of moving, and I’m very happy to hear next door don’t have any dogs or parrots.

You didn’t need to hear all that, I just didn’t wanna jump on and give you a load of shite just because you and your child are sleep deprived with a neighbour who doesn’t have any regard for her neighbours and no matter what the issues with the child or if any SEN, she is more than happy to leave him screaming for hours trapped behind a baby gate. Sympathy goes to all of you, but you don’t deserve a bashing just because you wanted somewhere to rant. Everyone’s ‘got’ to have some kind of issues these days and it can’t just be because the child Blatantly isn’t being cared for/ getting what he wants/ screaming because he wants to be in his mums bed.

Hope everyone has a lovely day and spreads happiness and joy.
Life is far too short for giving someone hate on a thread that nobody has actually experienced themselves (no, you haven’t unless you live in Op’s House next door to op’s neighbour Smile)
