Omg my neighbour has really upset me is this ok?

[Horseytwinkletoes2]

Hi!
Ok so I moved into a house 3 months ago not ventured outside to play and our new garden is being done next week as its not fir to use. Today 2nd day of easter holidays I took my 3 year old and 8 year old round the block on their scooters. I was round the back of one of the neighbours houses she lives 3 doors away and which backs onto a public cul de sac type street. I was out with them for 5 mins when the woman comes from her house and shouts that she needs my children to stop and they're trying to eat their dinner (it was 2.50pm) and all they can here is THAT (pointed to my children) and tbey need to stop and move away. She was sat in her conservatory with the doors open ypu can just make put from over the fence.
At that point my 3 year old scooted off near the road so I ran after her but didn't really know what to say.
I started taking a video of them playing and have them playing on video for 4 mins before she came out. They were literally just talking and saying how bumpy the pavement was etc and laughing as they went over drain bumps. They weren't shouting or anything and i was next to them the whole time.
It reeeeeally upset me as someone who tried to do good by people. But now I'm just filled with anger towards her and wish I'd have bit back.
Orrrrrrr shluld I have just said sorry it was my bad doing?

God if this bothered you as a one off you really, really, really need a life.

Only if it gets reported to the council I thought - but yes wise to avoid either party reporting it..

It sounds like this can only be remedied by investing in kazoos for both your children, to provide a soothing soundtrack to their scooting instead of nasty childish laughter.

Be sure to visit every day for the rest of the holidays so neighbour can see how seriously you’ve taken her upset and the steps you’ve taken to solve the problem. 👍

Older people get set in there ways, they don't like noise especially from children, barking dogs, traffic or change. Are you only one with young children? I would speak with other neighbours to find out what she like could be a moaner, horrible or ill. Find out first then decide on way forward.

I have three conservatories. One at the back one at the side and one at the front.

I just absolutely love glass. And lean-tos.

Occasionally, I might have a morning coffee in the front conservatory (upgraded porch).

But never me dinner.

And that's despite my gaining virtual ownership of cul-de-sac planning rights after a particularly lurid works do (say no more) in 1996.

I was young and attractive.

I was surprised that, even under the circumstances, I was allowed to extend my porch right to the edge of the pavement.

Particularly as I live in a Victorian terrace!

I've always enjoyed the children scooting by. Pushing their grubby little faces against the glass.

Like noisy goldfish bubbling for food.

I would recommend calling the police on your neighbour immediately.

Who has a conservatory where a porch should be? And no garden seemingly. Bizarre!

Surely goldfish aren't that noisy lol

Miserable gits

We all need to respect our neighbours it's exceptionally hard for different age groups, older people tend to like peace, teenagers mostly a pain and younger children can be loud. It's impossible when no respect I got new neighbours 3 years ago they built extension came into my garden destroyed my plants put building materials in garden without permission when I told them no they just ignored me dug big hole in my garden for their foundations and still not fixed after two years. The day I came out of hospital they were drilling the next day. They told me to get used to it.

Lots of properties have small conservatory on front if it captures sun there is no set rule where they should be placed at coast they are more than often at front

Be thankful you don't suffer from misophonia!

And no, I certainly do not think people should be silent outside my house, but it's inconsiderate to linger making annoying noise. For example, there is a dog trainer who holds training classes on the other side of my garden fence, they are an hour long and often she'll have a barky dog who will bark for the whole session. The trainer herself has an incredibly loud voice (talks like she's shouting), even when she does the training in the park behind my house, rather than by my garden fence, I can still hear her voice from 200 metres away - not even exaggerating.

I'm not actually a "narky neighbour", I get on very well with all of my neighbours actually, it's the general noisy public I despise 😂😂😂

You also shouldn't make incorrect assumptions on my financial situation, not that it's any of your business but I actually come from a family who had an incredible amount of land.

My neighbour is like this. We have a shared alley way, but she begrudges me using it. She will even try and stop my parcels being delivered. She has a miserable face continuously and is very bitter. I used to get angry, but now just realise it's a her problem, not a me problem. You are just hurting yourself by being angry. Just smile and laugh and be happy with your children. That will really p her off. This was most likely the trigger in the first place. "What? Someone happy? Not on my watch sonny!" And came to burst your bubble. I would even smirk and shake your head if she ever looks your way in future.

A two-stroke one that goes "NREEEEEE!!!!!"

"That sounds like a you problem" is what I always say when someone has a complaint to make... Or if I'm really indifferent I just say "So?!" To anything they say... It's liberating as hell, OP should try it. What she got to lose? Some reputation with the neighborhood bitch? Oh no, p-p-please don't think less of me😂

It's stressful having neighbour disputes, my neighbours who moved in 3 years ago used my garden for scaffolding without consent, built extension and damaged garden even put building materials into garden again didn't ask me still got 3ft whole on my side where they dug foundations. I loved living here now I hate it

Kill her op

It's the only way.

Why would you talk to anyone like that?

Well said

Pop some earplugs through her letterbox.

She is a princess who owns the street
....how dare you!

Omg... this is perfect.
With a tag saying "gift from a neighbour"

Definitely. I don't know why people worry about keeping friendly with neighbours who don't worry the same. I mean, you don't even need to talk to your neighbours, really. Some people choose to, but i wouldnt if the first encounter was rude and obnoxious. One of the first thing my neighbour said to me was "crawl back into your house" when I asked if she could please take the lock off the gate to the shared alley that was preventing me using it. In the end, she was forced to remove it by threat of legal action due to easements on her property for this purpose. Once you close your front door you can forget about anyone outside.

Dear Sincere Soul, I would also be so soul destroyed too 😢You&Your Beloved Children have done absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever God Bless You&Yours
I've Twin Sons with Autism & Adhd & I'm sure you can imagine their Sensory Systems when overloaded can result in Meltdowns so we've suffered much criticism over the years
You&Your wonderful fun loving Children hold your head up high
I wouldn't apologise because it will only make a sour soul like her feel she's got more permission & is justified in being such a spiteful person 😔She doesn't deserve your time or energy
Much Love To You&Yours From Me&Mine

They need bells on their scooters and horns

We live in a cul de sac and have flats and shops around the corner with no parking or play area for kids so everyone seems to come here riding bikes, scooters and quads, walking dogs etc the last few years. We bought our house here as it used to be small quiet and private. I am ill and have hypersensitivity to noise and light. Unfortunately our location has also drawn so many people who think they can do what they want as its a public area doesn't matter that they dont actually live here and we have no peace and quiet any more. Maybe that's what has happened to her and the woman snapped, she may be ill or just be horrible who knows. I just think everyone has a right to live in peace including you and your kids, now you know avoid her and her house and don't let her get to you. We also have a child next door with autism who constantly bangs and screams and we have to wear ear plugs to get any sleep but the family are lovely and trying their best.
