Baby screaming non stop

Please read all before deciding

we arrived on holiday yesterday. Think centre parks type place

the baby next door is screaming non stop - it literally went from when we arrived at 6 till we fell asleep around 1am. We could still hear it in the bedrooms which are at the other side of the villa and we had the doors shut

we were woken ?6 times up to 5 am then again it’s been non stop and it’s now 11am and it’s still going strong.

it’s not crying - it’s high pitched screaming that goes through you

the main problem is I have ptsd from my baby screaming non stop. Got reported to child protection. After months of horrendous treatment, we were referred to a paediatrician, as one of the steps to have her taken away and placed in foster care, who went nuclear on my Doctors, psychiatrist, social workers, and the child protection team as my daughter had an undiagnosed serious medical issue that left her in constant pain. He pointed out I’d been back over and over begging for help - the ‘diagnosis’ - I was making it up to get attention - when actually she was incredibly sick - I was right. She was 2 and 16lb so seriously underweight! We weren’t feeding her - we were!

I feel incredibly sorry for the family as that non stop screaming is horrendous but for me it’s triggering. I’m still on a raft of drugs to deal with the mental issues it gave me, I’m still under the mental health team trying to come to terms with it. This is a significant issue for me

aibu to ask they move one of us (if it’s only in upgrade free then they can have it!) as I’m really suffering mentally?

You're not unreasonable to ask, unless you feel entitled to being given a different villa or not pay the difference, which doesn't sound like you are.

Whilst I understand how you are feeling and that it's tough, the family next door aren't doing anything wrong and so how you manage your PTSD is for you to handle, not anyone else.

I can't imagine the holiday resort not being understanding though.

Good luck!

Contact customer services and ask to be moved

You have every right to complain and ask to be moved. You paid for a quiet, relaxing break never mind your own health issues.

I couldn't deal with that noise.

There were no free upgrades or sideways moves so we paid for them to be offered a free upgrade and they took it!
