I don’t believe any of the shagging stuff! I do however believe that your kid is a shrieking annoying pain in the arse!

You sound nice.

Playing in the paddling pool is really only an outdoor activity.

However, shagging it's not necessary to have the doors open to do this.

Having lived in a house share with two inconsiderate bastards who had their girlfriends round all the time and kept me awake with loud sex (one was making loud sex noises with her kid in there, yes I did report to SS, the other stood outside the loo naked and I got an eyeful when I came out, reader, I've since moved,) I'd take noisy kids over loud sex noises any day of the week. Envy

Somethingneedstochange · 21/07/2022 23:18

Did they miss out on sex ed at school? Someone needs to tell them sh**ging might result in a giggling child/children.

SapphireSeptember · 21/07/2022 23:19

(My solution was playing heavy metal with the volume turned up. Drowned out the noise and made me feel better.)

Bbqchicken · 21/07/2022 23:29

Are you sat out the front or in your back garden? Not that it matters but as you say over the road but also at the back of you trying to gauge the situation and how far away he is amd why he has this opinion.

How do you know he’s annoyed with your DD? Maybe the sex isn’t good and he’s muttering outside before he goes in for another try?!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sitbackandunwind · 21/07/2022 23:39

@Bbqchicken Back garden, there’s a road at the back of us (small cul de sac) and he’s in the house opposite/facing the back garden

Garden's might be back to back. Our's are like that.

When I had a prostitute living above me & I could hear them noisily shagging I used to turn the music up to put them off & every time they started again I waited to just before I thought they were going to come & turned it up again, she moved out after I had done it every day for a month. I could cope with one shag a day but when there are one after another it gets a bit annoying.

Bbqchicken · 22/07/2022 00:04

Right OK I see, sounds like a CF to me (no pun intended). As infuriating as it is maybe just ignore him he is clearly looking for a reaction and if you give him that will only fuel the fire. Perhaps put something there to screen his view of your garden so you dont see him.

supersonicginandtonic · 22/07/2022 00:05

Fair play to them, I can't stand my husband anywhere near me in this weather 🥵🥵

Metrette · 22/07/2022 00:55

Next door but one do this to us.60+ couple of divorcees in a new relationship with seven kids between them but unable to tolerate other people’s kids. I tried to befriend them at first hence how I know all this but now they shun us and stick crazy loud music on the second our kids make a whimper. She’s a teaching assistant at a local school but literally sits there on her balcony putting her hands over her ears and going red because children are quietly playing. She put a vexatious fantastical complaint into social services to try to get our kids taken away. At the time we’d been shut indoors V I’ll with Covid for weeks.I loathe them.My kids are model students if she makes a vexatious complaint again I’m told it will be harassment and also our school will have to be involved and they’ll involve her head.
anyway my point is stand up to them but be aware that they may be crazy and make up stuff about you.

Put an old bottle of vegetable oil (don't waste a good one) on their doorstep but relabel it as
'Dr. Krochin's Bed Oil - cures the most squeaky of beds'
With a little note tied on the neck saying 'From Your Neighbours'

“9.8. Points deducted for the dismount” must be said loudly with the applause

Justbefair · 22/07/2022 19:00

People without kids not being tolerant, very sad. Maybe they will have them one day and realise what it's like, meanwhile crack on! A little girl having fun in her own garden, I mean, really, how dare you! Ignore him or give him sth to be really pissed off about! X

How on earth do you hear them shagging if they are across the road from your back garden? I'd assumed they were next door neighbours and your bedrooms were adjoining. 😮

Strangeways19 · 22/07/2022 19:03

I don't know if you're nbu because we live next to a very loud child playing in the pool (we don't shag loudly I hasten to add, we're pretty quiet & have grown up children). I cannot cope with the screaming, if your DD is screaming it's incredibly annoying. But I feel like our neighbours are unusual given 6 children lived there before & we never had any issues like this. It's unreserved full on screaming, it's also surprising that no-one ever seems to tell her to reign it in.
Ignore the people telling you that your DD should make more noise this will only irritate the situation.

whenever Dd laughs or shouts in happiness.

Can I ask all mums on here what age this stops? My neighbours' ( who are really lovely people) children scream and shriek in happiness ...until they start crying. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings on here or upset anyone but...it's as annoying as fuck. The little darlings enjoying themselves...why can't they do it quietly? When do they stop shouting in happiness?

When their parents start asking telling them to stop because it’s fucking annoying.

THEDEACON · 22/07/2022 19:12

It's a draw then he doesn't like your child making a noise while playing you don't like to hear him shagging fair enough !

MrsGarveyTheSecond · 22/07/2022 19:14

I'd have to do a playlist for them ....

Je t'aime Serge & Jane
Bit of Teddy Pendergrass
Tom Jones - Leave your hat on

Etc etc

It sounds like you need to speak to the parents tactfully or write a letter to them, explaining how it's impacting your ability to enjoy your garden. I sympathise Gin
