I have a little bit of a dispute with my neighbour.
She frequently complains about the level of noise my ds makes. She claims it's excessive, disturbing etc and constantly rings our Housing officer to complain. (we're HA)
Today was a topper. Her mum took it upon herself to complain about the noise over the weekend saying that my Ds and Dp's DD were too noisy, up too early etc etc.
I do try and limit the noise by not letting them run upstairs, only let them play downstairs, decent bedtime etc. I can't keep them silent all the time!
She then complains that it was my Ds' fault that her DD hurt herself because she was trying to copy Ds wheeling my garden waste bin around the garden.
But now she wants to start complaining to the police!! Ds is ASD and doesn't really understand that his behaviour affects others. I am trying to teach him though.
I personally dont think he's excessive but I am biased of course.
So am I being unreasonable for not controlling Ds better or is she for not understanding that Kids make noise?
Oh and she's took it on herself to tell me that she doesn't like DP, he's not good enough for me and she doesn't like the fact that he smokes in my garden (he's respecting the fact that I don't smoke).
