To hate living in a terraced house

Woken up at 7 am this morning by next door’s son pounding down their stairs. Could feel the vibration in my bedroom which is the furthest room from them. He then spent the next hour running up and down them, slamming doors & generally being noisy. He is 11.

I appreciate that he’s a child but my god I just want a lie in after working all week.

We live in a 1970s mid terrace or should I say “townhouse” which means 2 lots of stairs on our adjoining wall for people to thunder up and down. Last night we were trying to watch a film and all we could hear was next door moving around. It’s like living next to a herd of buffalo.

As I type this the pounding up and down the stairs has started again 🙄

Can’t ever have a lie in, have to listen to other people constantly, why do we built such shit houses in this country with no sound insulation and expect people to live decent lives?

Day off today but woken up at 6am by the usual thundering up and down the stairs. Sounded like the 11 year old was bouncing his ball in the living room from the repetitive banging I could hear.

One of the worst things about a terrace - having to live by other peoples routines.
