Miss busy body next door has just called the police on us! 10 minute argument and I went off upstairs to bed with DS. We’re both absolutely knackered DS isn’t sleeping so this has taking a toll on us and this is what caused the argument.

she’s rang the police on a few people on the estate before over nothing really,nothing I’d get worked up about.

police have just came banging down our doors and windows blue lights shouting police !gave us the shock of our lives left within minutes as they seen we was fine.

We feel absolutely humiliated now! AIBU to go round in the morning or should I just leave it?

Sleep deprivation is a horror and sent me as mad as badgers. But please don't have it out with her because you WILL have a screaming match and all your neighbours will think you are in fact the problem.

One day you will sleep again!

I wish my old neighbours had called the police when my ex was screaming and shouting at me. It was usually followed by him being violent so I would have been grateful, embarrassed but VERY VERY grateful.

The neighbour may have past experience of domestic abuse. She did right in my opinion. We've lived here 20 years and I have never heard any shouting. If I did I would be really alarmed and might call the police.

Your neighbour did the right thing. She heard shouting and was concerned.

Honestly I feel sorry for your kid. It's gotta be hard for him hearing all the screaming and shouting.

We've had our fair share of sleep deprivation. Thank God we're on the other side of it now but shouting and screaming at each other doesn't solve a thing. It makes it worse. I would suggest you guys find other ways to communicate with each other. For the sake of your son, please stop, the both of you.

I'd be honest if I heard the couple shouting next door to me and they had a small child, that could hear it all I'd call the police too.

Maybe go for a walk next time to calm down otherwise the police will probably tell your health visitor or get social services involved.

My neighbours called the local authority on me about the noise and i had a lovely chat with the LA people about the problem of serial complainers - if as you say she complains constantly about lots of people then the Police and others will know about her - and so will your neighbours who are presumably the people she has complained about before..

So they will all know what has happened and you will be able to have a good laugh about your mad neighbour.

Hi did social services come after? I'm just wondering as this happened to a friend of mine just recently.

Your neighbour has no idea of why you are shouting so loud.

You could be a victim of domestic violence for all she knows...and if you have a kid it is another reason for her to be concerned about what could be happening in your house.

What would you ''go around'' for? unless you are planning to apologise...

''When we got a new car and was selling our old one she told us to move it even though it wasnt effecting her. We bought a lazy spa hot tub in the summer she was slamming doors all day.''

Frankly, you sound like a nuisance/thoughtless neighbour.

You sound like that neighbour, honestly.
Always uppity, always peeking out the curtains, always gossiping and always looking down her nose at somebody else.

Check your own self out.

For them to come with their blues on they must've been pretty concerned.

Shouting is not okay and I'm sure you're aware of this now.

Everyone can have disagreements but shouting is crossing the line.
Especially in front of kids.

Hopefully you've learnt a lesson now but it's done. No point going round there she could see that as white intimidating.

Wish my neighbours would 😔😔

My neighbours argue constantly, screaming, shouting, swearing & smashing things up. We are expected to just ignore it and stay out of it when they wake us up at all hours and upset my kids.

I think your neighbour done the right thing and you shouldn't shout at each other infront of your child
