To think that people who live semi detached houses shouldn't buy their kids drumkits

Hi first time I've posted here but having been woken by neighbours child practicing drums at 7am I am feeling wholly unreasonable about everything.

We had our first rendition on Boxing day and have enjoyed (endured) weekly drumming sessions ever since. They are not normally noisy despite being a large family and our semi's are old so not paper thin walls.

However we might as well have mini Phil Collins in our living room. Last week I had a migraine and my husband was working from home and trying to have a con call when the mindless thrashing started up.

Why do people think it is OK to inflict their children's musical inability on everyone? Fortunately my children have never shown any inclination to play anything but I might invest in a tuba or encourage an interest in the kettle drum.

Should I complain?

You don't even live in a semi and you berate all of us semi-livers who object to drums and electric guitars!

you (highly opinionated) minx

No it's not drum prejudice. It's inconsiderate neighbour prejudice- bet yours love you
