AIBU to blare music out when my neighbours children are screaming their fucking heads off?

I'm just so sick of listening to it, so I'm putting my music on high to drown out the sound of the screaming.

Blare away OP. It’s incredibly irritating.

Put headphones on. Please have some compassion it could be your child one day. The parents are hardly having a good time if he’s crying. My one year old is still teething so try to think what pain the child is experiencing to make him/her cry so much.

YABU. That's nasty and spiteful behaviour.

BlondiebyBottle · 23/08/2020 13:39

OP Do you have children yourself? Do you realise how frustrating its been during lockdown especially for children? YABU

Could you use noise cancelling headphones?

YANBU, although I think I'd opt for a wireless skipping rope to release endorphins at the same time.

Yanbu. I'm in Australia in a detached house and the neighbours children are constantly screaming and squealing. Not in a playful way, which I could tolerate more. Literally just screeching for hours on end. Then they get the shits when it causes my dogs to bark. I think parents are able to block out their kids noise more and some don't realise how loud their kids are.

The number of children is wrong, otherwise I’d assume you are my neighbours complaining about the DSC. They are a bloody nightmare. And DH is useless at disciplining them (plus he gets annoyed at me when I tell them off).

So if you were my neighbours I’d totally welcome you complaining to DH about his bloody shrieking, fighting, jumping/running around children.

It is that he’s too lazy to have consistent consequences for them. And also desperate not to upset them. So their behaviour is atrocious. (It’s atrocious everywhere though, and DH agrees - he just won’t do what’s required to fix it).

speak with your quiet neighbour so you can at least play music they like

Seriously? Who would do this?

RowboatsinDisguise · 23/08/2020 19:27

Are you my neighbour OP? We’ve spoken about playing very loud, very inappropriate music when the family further down the terrace are being inconsiderate arseholes 😂

we deliberately put our music on as loud as possible when the kids next door go into the garden. This is because their mother screams at them all day - I have never heard anything like it. the kids are not a problem she is. From 5 in the morning when they were younger, to now they are a little older. She screams at them. She screams at her useless husband. She screams at them in front of her own parents and his parents. She does not know how to speak to them as other parents would. The music drown her out, kids are not an issue.
