Next door sex noises with kids in house

[Dayushorribilis]

Wondering what (if anything) to do about next door neighbour family.

They’ve been next door for about a year. Always slightly ‘chaotic’ but nothing too bad eg they are very messy and noisy, they have pets running everywhere including a monkey in a cage, the mum doesn’t seem to have a job and screams at the kids a lot (no dad present).

I WFH and have noticed that often the kids aren’t at school during the day. They do go sometimes but not all the time. Kids seem to be early teens.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been disturbed multiple times in the day by very loud sex noises coming from next door. The mum is clearly enjoying herself with someone who I can also hear. It’s not massively enjoyable to hear this but I wouldn’t care except that there have been times that the kids are there too. I’ve seen them in the garden whilst mum is inside upstairs clearly having sex. I think this is wildly inappropriate to the point of wondering if I should report the whole situation to someone. Would you?

Part of me is hesitant because ‘Having sex whilst kids are in the house’ is fine, but when you add ‘daytime’ ‘plus ‘they should be at school’ plus ‘really quite loud’ I get bothered.

I would have purchased an obnoxiously large 80s style boombox and taken it down the road to point at the house playing things like Boombastic by Shaggy, or Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On at full volume for the amorous couple until they got the point. I bet the other neighbours would cheer you as a hero, or at least understand why you were doing it!

@ZippyBrickAh yes that age old trick of declaring anyone who dares criticise anything as being ‘JeAlOuS’ 🙄🙄🙄 Are you 12?

It’s not necessarily illegal.

My dad’s friend used to keep monkeys. One attacked him and he had to kill it to get it off him (this was about 40 years ago!).

Poor monkey having to listen to that!

I'm concerned about the monkey tbh. I know Monkey World in Dorset have taken in a lot of capuchins (and maybe other?) types of monkey who were neglected or in unsuitable conditions on peoples homes. They should always have company and have a very specific diet, which without can lead to severe health problems.

Would you consider reporting them to the RSCPA and/or your local Environmental Health Team? It might also be worth getting in touch with Monkey World directly too.

The kids are in their teens. So hardly neglect if a teen can’t use the garden unattended for an hour.

That poor monkey, torn from their mother, most certainly is.

What sort of dreadful people keep a monkey in a cage? You need to report them asap. Awful.

Maybe she is trying to convince a school headmaster to allow her kids into his school? Think Forest Gump 😁
