This afternoon our cat was playing with her kittens next to our sitting room wall which we share with our neighbours. they were mewing and bleating, in the way that kittens do and our wall is a little thin, but I was a bit surprised to hear a voice shout out, "fucking shut it or I'll slit your fucking throat". I was a bit freaked out but think I might be suffering from early pregnancy paranoia and DH (who wasn't in the room) pointed out that they're always screaming and shouting at each other and probably wasn't even directed at us. DH then went out to a party, I ducked out (feeling terrible, tired and throwing up all the time), and was doing some work with music on. The neighbours had music on as well, and seemed to be having an argument as well.
About five minutes ago, heard the doorbell go, couldn't not answer it as you could see through the kitchen window that I was in, and it was the neighbour, apologising for their noise (something she has never done before), I said don't worry, barely heard a sound, and then she said how the kittens and our music had been disturbing her all evening and if it happened again, she'd "come over and smash my fucking face in".
If I weren't pg, this would be a joke, I am two feet taller and used to play womens rugby until we started ttc, but it really freaked me out. In the little we've had to do with them, they have always seemed strange (once I told her how kind her son was, for helping me down the stairs to the front door with heavy shopping and she told me "not to treat him like a fucking slave") but never directly threatening. I don't know if I'm making too much of it - got the distinct impression she'd had a few - but can't stop shaking.Thought about calling police but they won't pay attention, esp not on a Saturday, and we're buying our own place so hopefully moving out soon. Don't want to call dh and ask him to come home, he's been looking forward to tonight for weeks and felt really guilty for staying behind, but now I can't rest. I've put the kittens in the bedroom so the neighbours can't hear them, and keeping the telly on low. Probably just being emotional and feel really stupid for it (delicate pregnant woman) but don't know what to do.
