Our lovely neighbour had to move away and I am having real problems with my new neighbours.
They are different to us in expected ways and some of it I try to overlook. However, they are extremely noisy in this terraced row. Mother screams at her children constantly and seems unable to communicate in any other way. The children scream to a worrying degree without any attempt at comforting or consoling. They are doing the house up with drilling, hammering etc., no advance notice and I often can't think straight. We both work part time from home. I am trying to be tolerant and understanding but my patience is fraying. The other neighbours are still lovely and I spoke to a neighbour who lives on the other side in the row and she is also concerned about the children. I am seriously thinking of moving if this continues. My partner is less concerned as he is partly deaf and he's very good at switching off. I am angry with them next door and angry with myself.
