To revenge hoover?

[Pregnagainagain]

I have 2 under 18 months so might be over sensitive to lack of sleep. My NDN had a party until 5am last night, I could hear her shout talking over the music all night. The babies never woke (amazingly), well the youngest did but just for feeds, however I couldn’t get back off after each feed due to the noise and worrying about it waking the kids. WIBU do aggressively hoover into my skirting boards against the upstairs wall where there bedrooms adjoin as soon as I’ve sorted my toddlers breakfast?
I understand that my babies make noise sometimes but it’s not intentional and definitely not all night, actually I do everything I can to make sure there is little or no noise when other are sleeping.

Don't do it. Life is too short.

If it was a one off I would let it go.

Yabu. She probably has to listen to your two making a racket on the regular but puts up with it. She has one party and you’re seeking ‘revenge’? The world does not revolve around you. Unless this becomes a regular occurrence, shrug it off.

If you want to start a noise war go ahead.

Haha I get the urge, but for what it's worth it isn't worth it.
Yes annoying of your neighbour but luckily you were all ok. If it keeps happening then just say something but don't stoop yourself down to standards you don't like for yourself!

It's currently 85% yanbu but we are voters who are up at 8am on a Sunday lol... I reckon this vote might change when the late risers get up!

From me: yanbu

I wouldn't risk a war because of 1 party. She is allowed to party. If it becomes a regular thing, speak to her, calmly.

She’s not long moved in and there genuinely hasn’t been much noise from my end as I try and get out as much as I can and my toddler is in nursery during the week. I’m hoping it was more of a moving in get together than what’s going to be. This is a really quiet street with mostly retired people. Seriously hoping it’s a one off.

Yabu as it could start a noise war. If one off let it go if regular my answer be go for it as noise war already started

Go for it!! And with a clear conscience.

Partying til 5am was kicking ass - a little hoovering is hardly revenge even. Or a noise war

If it was just a one off party I'd think about all the times your crying children have made a noise in the night and take it as a fair "payback". If it becomes regular then raise it.

Don't do it OP. Not worth it in the long run.

Ah saw your update. In that case vacuum away.

A one-off party on a Saturday night is frustrating but if nobody complained she perhaps didn't realise how much the noise was carrying.

Just go round and ask her to turn it down for next time. If she does it again, then get passive aggressive with the hoovering

She is allowed to party. but making noise until 5am in not on! She must know you have young children, but didn't care.

I would've rung the police as noise is not allowed between the hours of 11pm and 7am, or the councils environmental officer.

Look into it, as she's likely to do it again and complain next time!

After 9 (which is a reasonable hour) I'd make sure everything was spick and span before going out. Just do whatever it is you'd normally do. Don't tiptoe around because she might be a post party mess.

Don't hoover, but have music on LOUD

I think this paired with the drunk idiot who was ringing my door bell in the middle of the night over and over last weekend because he got the wrong door (was wanting in her house instead) has already got me irritated. But I’ll take the advice and leave it.

When I lived in my first flat a new neighbor moved in upstairs (previously empty new build) and had a party so loud it made everything in my flat shake and went on to the early hours. I was dreading that this would be the new normal. It never happened again and a few weeks later when I bumped into her in the hall she apologised profusely, said she'd had too much to drink and let things go on much louder and later than she'd planned. Hopefully this was also just a house warming

A one off party til 5am is not ok. What is wrong with people

Time for a kids party! I recommend baby shark on repeat.

Sorry OP I think this is a bit worrying and may give an indication of what's to come. My sister had a lot of trouble from new neighbours, who had people round every weekend, drinking and shouting at all hours. She could hear everything through the party wall and in the end had to complain to the letting agent about it, but got a load of abuse from the tenant for her trouble. They did eventually move on, but I'm concerned this could be the start of something similar for you. If it is you need to try and nip it in the bud.

I’d let it go this time, it could well have been a housewarming. Talk to her if it happens again. FWIW the worst thing is a screaming baby through the wall night after night- broken sleep when it’s not even your child is the pits.

If it's the second time in two weekends you've been disturbed by her household late at night I'd have a word with her then you'll know how reasonable she is.

A crying baby and a party/drunk people ringing on your bell in the middle of the night are totalling different things, and don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise!
