Hi all, both a vent and looking for ideas on how to deal with a situation/AIBU.
So we moved into our house December last year the area is lovely the only problem we have had is twice now the house in the next road that our next-door neighbours back onto have had two parties now with music so loud we can hear it in the front of our house with all doors and windows closed (our garden is quite long, certainly not on top of each other). Our boys share a room and it is at the back of the house and it's super loud in their room. The first time we just left it as the boys fell asleep fine but weren't well at the time and later on it started to disturb them. I went round around midnight, knocked, explained and asked that they just turn the music down not off as I understand people have parties, that's fine but it's disturbingthe kids sleeping. They said yes but an hour later it was the same. I went around again and they were quite hostile at this point. The music went on for around another 40 minutes.
Last night it was the same except for I went round around midnight again and asked just for them to turn it down. She clearly remembered me and was instantly snotty saying "well call the police then!!" I said that I wasn't looking for anything like that and the decent thing to do was to turn it down a bit (the base is insane as well as it being club style loud.) I was told its her daughters birthday and it's not her daughters fault it's disturbing my kids! Any experience of amicable solutions/tactics people have used to address things like this? I don't want to go down the council route and don't think two parties warrants it but I'm concerned it's going to be a frequent thing! AIBU?
