So there have been a number of posts recently re neighbours, but this evening I’m really about to lose my shit.
We’ve always had a great relationship with ours. When DS was born, the woman next door called in with gifts, we’ve given them gifts for landmark birthdays etc.
I’ve spoken to them a couple of times recently and all has been perfectly amicable, therefore I’m puzzled as to why the fuck they think it’s ok to begin hammering nails into our adjoining walls and drilling after 7pm when they’re fully aware that we have a 6 month old.
He’s been at home since before 5, but this has just started now! They’ve also had a whole bank holiday weekend off during which this ‘work’ could’ve commenced, but no, the asshole waits until I’ve bathed DS and I’m getting him ready for bed. DH is currently giving him a bottle and I’m contemplating asking them what the fuck they think they’re doing at this time on an evening.
To add context, because I was concerned about disturbing them when we had DS, I slept downstairs with him every night for the first 3 months until we got into a bedtime routine because I knew that next door’s son had just started a new (pretty stressful) job and I didn’t want him to be disturbed overnight. I also repositioned our wardrobes in our room in an attempt to dampen the noise when we moved DS in our room with us. They know this and have told me that it was completely unnecessary 😂, but I’m such a pedant when it comes to noise that I was hoping that karma would reward me for my efforts! Ha ha.
The son said to me just last week, “we never hear him”, so I’m wondering whether they’ve forgotten!
Why can’t people just fucking think?! 
I’ll be really disappointed if our relationship deteriorated, but I cannot believe that people can be so thoughtless when we’ve been nothing but considerate neighbours towards them.
Should I knock and ask him how long he reckons this project will take? Wwyd?
